Tears Before Bedtime

Track A2
 
[Verse 1] I know the name on the tip of your tongue And I know that accusing look Everybody knows I've been so wrong That's the problem and here's the hook [Chorus] Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonight I don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have another fight I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? [Verse 2] For the tears that you boo-hoo-hoo There can be no defense You say you'll forgive and forget But it's only a pretense [Chorus] Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonight I don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have another fight I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? [Bridge] Either you can leave the past behind Or give me something to disconnect my mind I sleep with my fists clenched tight When I don't lie awake all night I guess time gave up the ghost too late And the balance of our love Very soon turns to hate [Verse 3] Darling your suspiciousness Tortures me at night But I can't excuse the cruel words That I use whenever we fight [Chorus] Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonight I don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have another fight I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? [Outro] How wrong can I be before I am right? How wrong can I be before I am right? How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right?
