I'm going on a date tonight
|
To try to fall out of love with you
|
I know, I know this is a crime
|
But I don't know what else to do
|
|
My love, you're in a magazine
|
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
|
You pull my heart out and then you run away
|
From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain
|
You leave me pain
|
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother
|
|
On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone"
|
I laughed at the irony
|
But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me
|
It got lost on me
|
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother
|
|
You challenged me to write a love song
|
Here it is, I think I got it wrong
|
I focused on the negative
|
The pain was too much to write and sing
|
Oh, it was not a nice incentive
|
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
|
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother to hear you sing
|
When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing
|
I would trade my mother
|
|
But she don't know just how far I'd go
|
Would I walk for a hundred miles
|
for a glimpse of your northern smile?
