Acting This Way Lyrics - Singles - Robert Cray

It's three o'clock in the morning 

When you finally answer your phone 

Ask me why I keep calling 

Why I don't leave you alone 

Where you've been, who've you been with 

Is all I really wanna know 

And then you hang up the phone, girl 

Knowing you're hurtin' me so 

Sometimes I find it so hard 

To let you get away 

So I keep on your trail, girl 

That's why I'm acting this way 

I've lived on a fantasy 

That you still wanted me 

You said to face reality 

This is something that should've never, never been 

I' had to keep on trying 

Because you might take me back 

But false hopes i'm not lying 

Have kept me on one track 

Sometimes I find it so hard 

To let you get away, girl 

That's why I keep on your trail, baby 

That's why I'm acting this way 

I hoped you've finally faced it 

And started moving on 

Both our times have been wasted 

So I'm probably better off 

Still there'll always be these questions 

That keep on nagging me 

But baby, why not try it? 

This is something that might never, never be 

And I feel so happy 

To let you get away, ohhh, yeah 

I'm gonna get off your trail, girl 

And stop acting this way 

And, oh, I guess I'm so happy 

To let you get away, yeah 

I'm gonna get off your trail, girl 

And stop acting this way 

I'm gonna stay off your trail, girl 

And stop acting this way
