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. y
