Album: Big City

Alone

In my home

I left a party early tonight

The crowd was too loud

Can't stand their minds and their cheers

I can't stand their records in my ears



Like a little girl with her mammie's make up

I'm trying hard to be brave

I'm lying flat on the bed

My heart is heavy as lead And I don't like these shoes

Lord, I got to find me somebody

I got to find me a friend

I got to undo the consequences of all the months I spent

All by myself



People tell me come what may

But what's the price to pay

For fooling around?

They tell you what to do

But when I'm missing you

They're never around



I'm running out of patience

but most of all I'm running out of luck

The time it takes to break up is much longer than the little time

You look

To do me good



Alone

On the phone

Lord, Somebody's talking to me

But i don't seem to hear

My world is fading to black

Oh how I want you back

I almost hit a lady at the store today

She was laughing so loud

She sucked my soul from me

But i just ran out of there

And I kept running for miles

Until I finally tripped back into the hell of this house

I'm so lonely I can't eat or sleep

I'm so hungry for you love and it makes me sick to be

My inside's shaking like a leaf on a tree

I can't even stand on my own...



People tell me come what may

But what's the price to pay

For fooling around?

They tell you what to do

But when I'm missing you

They're never around



People tell you come what may

But what they never say

Is coming around

They all tell me don't be blue

But I'm not blue for you



It's an infinite down

It's an infinite down

It's an infinite down

It's an infinite down

It's an infinite down
