You begged me to stop my fussin'
|
There's something that needs discussin',
|
You've been keeping inside you
|
And it's high time I know
|
|
There's no way to break it gently
|
When you told me forever,
|
It doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time,
|
But it's time for you to go
|
|
Am I readin' you right?
|
Did you just turn out the light at the end
|
of our ten year Tunnel of Love?
|
Yeah, I know it's your hour of need-
|
But what about me?
|
|
I won't be the cage that holds you,
|
I won't be the one who told you
|
that you're making a mistakeˇ¦
|
No Babyˇ¦ I've never been that kind
|
|
And if you're sayin' that I've confined you,
|
By all means go but let me remind you
|
You can't change your world as easy
|
as changin' your mind.
|
|
What more do I have to give?
|
Guess I'll just have to live with the thought
|
My tears'll be setting you free
|
And I hope you find all you seek-
|
But what about me?
|
|
What do you want me to say?
|
Girl, you're walking away with
|
The only dream I ever believed.
|
You'll be livin' through leavin' us be
|
But what about me?
|
|
Well I know love don't come guaranteed-
|
But what about me?
|

What About Me?
