Why must you always seem to criticize me?. I seems like everything I do just turns out wrong. Why don't you come on out and despise me. So I could pack my bag and baby I'd be gone?.
You may live alone. And close your eyes some folks do. You may dream a dream. That's twice your size all night through. When the morning comes, who's to tell.
I'm beginning to like you. But, you know that ain't right. 'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist. Till I'm all crooked inside. . Then you'll take all you gave me.
Long Monday. © John Prine & Keith Sykes. . You and me. Sittin' in the back my memory. Like a honey bee. Buzzin' 'round a glass of sweet Chablis. Radio's on.
