It's the way of mine to say just what I'm thinking. And to do the things I really want to do. And you want to change the part of me I'm proud of. So I can't be myself when I'm with you.
Could be holding you tonight. Could be doing wrong or start doing right. You don't care about what I think. I think I'll just stay here and drink. . Hey, putting you down, don't square no deal.
If we make it through December. Everything's gonna be all right, I know. It's the coldest time of winter. And I shiver when I see the falling snow. If we make it through December.
I'm gonna break every heart I can. I'd be a find-'em-and-fool-'em man. I'm gonna dedicate my whole life to this one plan. Well if I live and have enough time.
I lost my mind the day I lost your love. I lost everything except the will to cry. If you find me crawling back from time to time. It's not you I want, I'm looking for my mind.
A loser doesn't always know he's losing. Till he's lost the game and it's too late to win. I hope I'll call in time and you'll forgive me. 'Cause I want so much to come back home again.
Once I lived a life of wine and roses. And I drank a lot back then for one concern. Success for me lay just around the corner. I thought my social friends would help me make me turn.
Things I learned in a hobo jungle. Were things they never taught me in a class room. Like where to find a hand out. While bummin' through Chicago in the afternoon.
We met downtown in the barroom. Both of us needing a friend. And you brought me home to your doorstep. And it was there you invited me in. . We spent the wee hours dancing.
It's a way of mine to say just what I'm thinking. And to do the things I really want to do. And you want to change the part of me I'm proud of. So I can't be myself, when I'm with you.
