Thats What You Said - Lyrics by Phil Collins


Lyrics
I remember the night you weren't at home
\r
(had to work late is what I heard)
\r
That's what you said
\r
I can never forget the way it felt,
\r
you needed some time to work it out,
\r
that's what you said
\r
and now I feel a fool.
\r

\r
'Cos late at night I call your name,
\r
I'm wondering what for,
\r
'cos I've seen those other guys
\r
sniffin' around your door.
\r

\r
Whatever happened to the words
\r
'Lovers for all eternity?'
\r
That's what you said,
\r
I was your rome, you were my Juliet,
\r
eternally
\r
that's what you said
\r
and now I feel a fool.
\r

\r
'Cos late at night I hear your voice
\r
calling out my name,
\r
oh I know it's just a dream
\r
but every night's the same.
\r

\r
I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin
\r
you know it don't seem right that I won't see you again
\r
No no
\r

\r
Late at night I call your name,
\r
I'm wondering what for,
\r
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
\r
sniffin' around your door.
\r

\r
I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain
\r
I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again
\r
No no
\r

\r
I thought your friends all liked me
\r
I thought I fitted in just right,
\r
that's what you said.
\r
Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,
\r
you can go find the things that you want.
\r
That's what you said
\r
and I won't feel a fool
\r

\r
'cos late at night I still call your name,
\r
I'm wondering what for,
\r
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
\r
sniffin' around your door.
\r

\r
What for?
\r
\r
