I guess that I was
In a bind to

Justify the things you say

It’s not the first time
You point the finger
And blame it on the bourbon’s way

You’re Fine
So smile one time
And sanctify the words you say

You’re fine

Gary Myers: drums
Todd Ufkes: bass
Bob Schultz: Saxophone
Herb Ledbetter: lead and backing vocals

Tell me everything you feel
Tell me something really real
Count the ways your missing me
Do the acts that I will seeI don’t mind waiting for you
Remember all of this is for youWatch the days go flying by
Questions all the reasons why
Infatuation never lasts
That is why I’m always trashedFind the place to play with me
Carry on and I will see
Climb the stairs up to your room
Leaving home will happen soonI don’t mind waiting for you
Remember all of this is for yourWatch the days go flying by
Never question reasons why
Love will stay and never pass
As long as we work love will lastLooking back at you and me
Smiling at the times we see
Walk the path that leads to you
Pausing slightly feeling blueI don’t mind waiting for you
Remember all of this is for yourThinking back on loves gone by
Fighting hard now not to cry
Love will stay and never pass
So I smile and try to laugh

Come back to me
Come visit me
Sanctuary
Come hide with meDon’t ever leave
Don’t you believe?
Absolutely
We’ll never leaveI’d like to know
Everywhere you go
Oh, won’t you please
Come back to me
Lay down with me
So close to me
Feel your heart beat
Beating with meLook in your eyes
For other guys
You look to them
The other menI need to know
Everywhere you go
Oh, can’t you see
You’ll never leaveI have to know
Everywhere you go
Oh, can’t you see
You’ll never leave
Forever me

Funny, so far I feel okay
Funny, so far it’s working
Only today I missed your face
Funny smile I’m hurting I don’t want to be away
Going to find my way back to you
Never thought I’d see the day
Denying life without you I’ll get a fast car and race to you
I’ll break any law to there
Only today I knew the truth
Suddenly scared I won’t find you I don’t want to be away
Going to find my way back to you
Never thought I’d see the day
Denying life without you Funny, so far I feel okay
Funny, so far it’s working
Only today I missed your face
Funny smile I’m hurting I don’t want to be away
Going to find my way back to you
Never thought I’d see the day
Denying life without you

The thing about me
The thing about my world
With love around me
I’d breathe it if I could But she’s the one who always makes me feel
There’s no other
How can I explain?
I’ve never been so sane
And felt so bad Won’t you please explain? The thing about her
The thing about my girl
With love around her
I only wish she knew That she’s the one who always makes me feel
There’s no other
How can I explain?
She’s never been so sane
And looked so sad Won’t you please explain? I’ll chase rabbits
All over the world
If I’m chasing rabbits
I’ll eventually get my girl Won’t you please explain?

Trying to be mad
Wanting to be pissed
Making this a fad
Never to be missed
I can’t run away
There’s no escaping you
The only thing to say
Is do you feel it too? You’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mind
But I think you’re wasting
All my time Trying to be cool
Making this a joke
Not to be a foolRegret we ever spoke
I can’t clear my head
Now I think I’m screwed
I only wish you’d said
That you love me too You’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mind
But I think you’re wasting
All my time I think something’s wrong
