You turned a blind eye to everything I ever said, You turned a blind eye to everything I ever did, You didn't worry, baby, why call your telephone? You're just content to roam around. Yes, you are
Has anybody seen my baby kickin' around the town? She's the queen of torture, yeah, She, yeah, you know she put me down. Has anybody seen my woman hangin' round the streets? She ain't been home for oh, so long - She walked right out on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Has anybody seen my woman out around the city? She ain't been home for two weeks now, And ain't that such a pity, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sit by the river's edge, and watch the water flow, Sunlight that touched your face, and told you not to go. Where, oh where, you search your heart - how much do you need? All the things that take you far away from being alone. Stay where your fellowship have watched you hide inside, Don't you alarm the path where danger's arrows fly. Places everywhere that seem to have no other days, Calling out from what could only still be all alone.
Rain falls into your life, and leisure steals away, Love and wishes floating down under today.
Sit by the river's edge, and watch the water flow, Sunlight that touched your face, and told you not to go. Where, oh where, you ask yourself - how much do you need? All the things that take you far away from being alone.
(Powell, Turner, Upton, Turner) Screen Gems Publishing Was sat down by my fire, hear a voice of desire, Want to be friends again. I keep tellin' you,man, she's only a pain. She don't fit in my scene, She don't fit in my world no more.
And the best has to stay, Keep knockin' on my door. She's gone away, We're kickin' the thoughts around the floor.
(Powell, Turner, Upton, Turner) Screen Gems Publishing I didn't know what day it was that day, Felt just like falling down on my knees to pray. Looked at myself, and all that I could say Was,"I think I see the errors of my way". There in the glass there was something caught my eye, Although I try through my sighing not to cry. See where I am, and what I try to say,
Just so I'll look at the errors of my way. Guess I got no one around to pull me through. I just need someone to turn to, yes, I do. Doin' my best just to change my yesterday, Then I won't have no more errors of my way.
