Lyrics Three Little Words - Duke Ellington & His Orchestra

Three Little Words

I know what you’re doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion
You were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
There’s not much to examine
There’s nothing left to hide
You really can’t be serious
If you have to ask me why
I say good-bye
Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care, and I could stand here
Waiting a fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price
Worth the price, the price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking, what’s it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can’t figure out
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
But I’m thinking it over anyway
I’ve come to find, I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
With every time you come and go
Please don’t, you come and go
