The Days Take Care Of Everything
|
(Costello)
|
|
If you wanna feel sorry for yourself
|
Then go ahead, I'm not gonna stop you
|
Sometimes you're just like a petulant child
|
You seem to get so much satisfaction
|
Just from being denied
|
And now that he's taken
|
Everything you can give
|
You come to me asking
|
How can I continue to live
|
|
Chorus:
|
The days take care of everything
|
You've had your fling
|
You poor little thing
|
But don't despair
|
Yes the days take care of everything
|
You'll pass on the street
|
You'll know him from someplace
|
But you won't know where
|
The days take care of everything
|
|
We sat up all night and talked it through
|
You drank down the bottle
|
And I blew a lower note
|
I said " Now I must be going now it' s getting late"
|
But what if I was less of a friend
|
And more of a traitor
|
But how could you know
|
How I was longing inside
|
Our eyes never met
|
And my hands stayed by my side
|
And as you gave me a rather
|
Affectionate kiss
|
How could you know
|
I had been waiting
|
For a chance like this
|
I've been an upstate conventional turn
|
I overheard a heavenly choir
|
And though you still turn to me
|
From time to time
|
One day you're up in the clouds
|
Next thing you're down with the
|
Sweet Adelines
|
And now I can see
|
It was not meant to be
|
You'll take him back
|
And never spare another thought
|
From me
|
Chorus
