(something's Got To) Give Pretty Soon Lyrics - Decoration Day - Drive By Truckers

Way you look at me like that, something's got to give pretty soon 

Throw it on a camel's back, something's got to give pretty soon 

Living hard to chase the dream, way beyond our ways and means 

Yours don't mean a goddamn thing. 

That's what you said, but, don't believe it. 

That shattered look upon your face, something's got to give pretty soon. 

Swallow, but can't stand the taste, bark at the wind, chase the moon 

Living fast and drinking lots. List of things we haven't got. 

Tired of life with the have-nots 

That's what you said and I believe it. 

Maybe what you need's for someone to send you flowers 

Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to 

Show you more than charm and take you on your way 

To where you want to be at the end of the day 

And it breaks my heart in two to know it ain't meant to be 

But, it ain't me, 

It ain't me. 

And you say it's these things I do, about me that's attracted you 

So if I started doing something else, what would we have left. 

And you say you just want compromise, then act so different all the time. 

These reasons why you said goodbye, just another way of telling lies. 

Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon 

Or else we're gonna lose the very things that made it bloom 

Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room 

While the world goes on around us 

Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon 

Or else we're gonna hate each other 

And that would be the saddest thing I ever seen.
