THOUGHT TWICE, STILL AIN'T RIGHT

Bob Dylan's Song: "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" Suze's Response: "Thought Twice, You Still Ain't Right" Verse 1 You stitched up your pride in a travelin’ song Said the road don’t lie, so you moved along But the truth don’t rhyme when the reason’s wrong And a record deal don’t keep you warm Verse 2 You made me a mom, but would't take my soul Sent me to Italy, then called distance a toll Guess only a free bird could sing that well Got a heart full of songs, and no love to tell Chorus You said “don’t think twice,” like that made it right Like leavin' slow don’t count as flight But I thought it through on a sleepless night And no, you still ain’t right Bob, you still ain’t right Verse 3 You loved your voice in that rusted tone More than my arms that felt like home Chased applause, left my love alone Then you called it truth in a microphone (sigh) Bridge You packed your guilt in a sweet melody Said your goodbyes like it set you free But who writes five verses just to flee? Sounds like a man who's still missing me Final Chorus So sing your hurt on another stage Wear heartbreak like a noble cage But I’ve read past your black-and-white— I thought it through, and you still ain’t right I thought it through, Bob... you still ain’t right!
