I Know It's Over Lyrics - So You Think You Can Dance

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 

And as I climb into an empty bed, oh well, enough said 

I know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can go 

Over and over 

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 

See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit cut me 

Do you think you can help me? 

Sad veiled bride please be happy, handsome groom give her room 

Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you 

More than she loves you, and I know it's over, still I cling 

I don't know where else I can go 

Over and over 

I know it's over and it never really began 

But in my heart it was so real 

And she even spoke to me and said 

"If you're so funny 

Then why are you on your own tonight? 

And if you're so clever 

Then why are you on your own tonight?" 

"And if you're so very entertaining 

Then why are you on your own tonight? 

And if you're so very good looking 

Then why do you sleep alone tonight?" 

I know, 'cause tonight is just like any other night 

That's why you're on your own tonight 

With your triumphs and your charms 

While they're in each other's arms 

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate 

It takes strength to be gentle and kind 

Over and over 

It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate 

It takes guts to be gentle and kind 

Over and over 

Love is natural and real 

But not for you my love not tonight my love 

Love is natural and real 

But not for such as you and I my love 

Oh mother [unverified]
