Tears Before Bedtime |
| I know the name on the tip of your tongue |
| And I know that accusing look |
| Everybody knows I’ve been so wrong |
| That’s the problem and here’s the hook |
| Tears before bedtime |
| There’ll be trouble tonight |
| I don’t want to talk about it anymore |
| I don’t want to have another fight |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| For the tears that you boo hoo hoo hoo |
| There can be no defense |
| You say you’ll forgive and forget |
| But it’s only a pretense |
| Tears before bedtime |
| There’ll be trouble tonight |
| I don’t want to talk about it anymore |
| I don’t want to have another fight |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| Either you can leave the past behind |
| Or give me something to disconnect my mind |
| I sleep with my fists clenched tight |
| When I don’t lie awake all night |
| I guess time gave up the ghost too late |
| And the balance of our love |
| Very soon turns to hate |
| Darling your suspiciousness |
| Tortures me at night |
| But I can’t excuse the cruel words |
| That I use whenever we fight |
| Tears before bedtime |
| There’ll be trouble tonight |
| I don’t want to talk about it anymore |
| I don’t want to have another fight |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
| I don’t want to talk, I don’t want to fight |
| How wrong can I be before I am right? |
