Holding Back the Tears
I really think I know you, even when I'm blue
When were full of Tasmanian oysters and too much chardonnay
But now your'e going home alone, I'm feeling oh so empty.
I do not think I know you, my dearest Sue, why so vague?
Why don't you return my calls, Should I get a takeaway?
I really think I know you even when I'm blue.
I really think I know you, when the banking statements due
Was that a spending spree when you spent the monthly pay
Now my wallet feels so light and oh so very empty.
I do not think I know you, are you really true
When you go away for days and stray amid the fray
I do not think I know you, even though I'm blue.
I really think I know you, though why so many shoes
How would you pick a pair, if we had to run away
And why keep all the boxes, especially when they're empty.
I do not think I know you, when were standing in a queue
Together yet so far apart, I look and feel dismay
I really think I know you, even though I'm blue
There's nothing left for us to share, our love is all but empty.
