Way you look at me like that, something's got to give pretty soon
|
Throw it on a camel's back, something's got to give pretty soon
|
Living hard to chase the dream, way beyond our ways and means
|
Yours don't mean a goddamn thing.
|
That's what you said, but, don't believe it.
|
|
That shattered look upon your face, something's got to give pretty soon.
|
Swallow, but can't stand the taste, bark at the wind, chase the moon
|
Living fast and drinking lots. List of things we haven't got.
|
Tired of life with the have-nots
|
That's what you said and I believe it.
|
|
Maybe what you need's for someone to send you flowers
|
Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to
|
Show you more than charm and take you on your way
|
To where you want to be at the end of the day
|
And it breaks my heart in two to know it ain't meant to be
|
But, it ain't me. It ain't me.
|
|
And you say it's these things I do, about me that's attracted you
|
So if I started doing something else, what would we have left.
|
And you say you just want compromise, then act so different all the time.
|
These reasons why you said goodbye, just another way of telling lies.
|
|
Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon
|
Or else we're gonna lose the very things that made it bloom
|
Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room
|
While the world goes on around us
|
|
Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon
|
Or else we're gonna hate each other
|
And that would be the saddest thing I ever seen.
