Sour Grapes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When no more raindrops can fall from the sky
All the mighty oceans have gone and are dry
And the summer sun's just as cold as a snow
That's when I'll love you, baby
That's how you'll know
Oh, but I'm only saying all this to make you feel bad
You could have been the best love that I've ever had
And then one day you turned your back on me
And it's sour grapes a-talkin' 'cause you hurt me, don't ya see?
When just one key can open each and every door
Yes, and when God and Mother don't mean nothin' anymore
When there's no fightin' on any foreign chore
That's when you'll know that I want you back once more
Oh, but I'm only saying all this to make you feel bad
You could have been the best love that I've ever had
And then one day you turned your back on me
And it's sour grapes a-talkin' 'cause you hurt me, don't ya see?
Oh, but I'm only saying all this to make you feel bad
You could have been the best love that I've ever had
And then one day you turned your back on me
And it's sour grapes a-talkin' 'cause you hurt me, don't ya see?
It's just sour grapes a-talkin' 'cause you hurt me, don't ya see?
It's just sour grapes a-talkin' 'cause you hurt me, oh, don't ya see?
