The Shakes
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 I don't call and you wait
I guess it seems I'm abominable
Then I'm late and I sleep in
I feel like a criminal
Late at night, we're in bed
I can be like a dog
The heating's off, and you're warm
I don't feel like catching a cold
In any case, you don't care
You don't feel like rubbing it in
When I'm outside in the pouring rain
I know you'll let me in
I give you all that I got
You never have to ask
You give me love and I know that it's
The best I'll ever have, and that's why
Hey my babe
I can't sleep when you're not in town
Hope that you know
I get the shakes when you're not around
In my window
You see a sad pathetic clown
I want you to know
I get the shakes when you're not around
Now it's you and it's me
I can't believe we've been alone
Spread apart sharing laughs and tears
Over the telephone
Said and done, set in stone,
You've given me another chance
A thousand miles or one inch
Doesn't make a difference
