Lyrics
Some of Shelley's Blues
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.
Tell me, just one more time, the reason why you must leave;
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me
Tell me again but don't think you'll convince me.
You said, about fallin' in love again you'd rather be dead;
When someone breaks your heart you cry your eyes red
There's nothing so hard about the life that you've led.
As far as I can see, there's no reason for goodbye,
You're just running scared, and that's something I won't buy.
So you lose, I won't let you go, there's nothing to show but
more blues
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you
As far as I can see, there's no reason for goodbye
You're just running scared, and that's something I won't buy.
So you lose, I won't let you go, there's nothing to show but
more blues.
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
