Lyrics Adelaide - Steve Lawrence

Adelaide

I should pray for Adelaide
But she wouldn’t win this fight
Black and blue dear Adelaide
So many scars to hide
Waving my hands
You don’t break
You don’t understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You’re just that kind of man
Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can’t hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don’t wanna cry about it
I don’t wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don’t wanna cry about it
I don’t wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go
I should pray for Adelaide
But she don’t hear a goddamn word that I say
Oh I’m so ashamed of Adelaide
How do you justify every moment he takes
Waving my hands
You don’t break
You don’t understand
Lie to my face
Run away
You’re just that kind of man
Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can’t hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don’t wanna cry about it
I don’t wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don’t wanna cry about it
I don’t wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go
And I’m buried in the silence
And my eyes are closed
Got me like a spider
Trapped in your
You can’t hold me down boy
You can’t hold me down boy
You can’t hold me down boy
Every moment I surrender
Such a waste of love
You can’t hold me down boy
Tell me what the hell you want
And I don’t wanna cry about it
I don’t wanna fight about it
I just gotta let go, I just gotta let go
I don’t wanna cry about it
I don’t wanna fight about it
I just gotta let you go
I should pray for Adelaide
But she wouldn’t win this fight
Black and blue dear Adelaide
So many scars to hide
