One of These Days

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

We used to chase that boy home from school

We called him freckle faced, red-headed fool

He was different, he wasn't cool like meSticks and stones didn't break any bones

But we never left well enough alone

Then one day he ran away from home you seeAnd I passed him as he walked away

And in his eyes I heard him sayOne of these days you're gonna love me

You'll sit down by yourself and think

About the times you pushed and shoved me

And what good friends we might have beenAnd then you're gonna sigh a little

And maybe even cry a little

But one of these days you're gonna love mePatty Sue was a small town beauty

I took one look at her and had to pull her to me

Lord knows, she should have seen right through me

When I promised her the worldBut at seventeen you only want one thing

I left her standing with my high school ring

Innocent tears in a pourin' rain as I walked awayAnd I still see her in my dreams

And to this day she's whisperingOne of these days you're gonna love me

You'll sit down by yourself and think

About the time you turned from me

And what good friends we might have beenAnd then you're gonna sigh a little

And maybe even cry a little

But one of these days you're gonna love meNow everybody stands up, the congregation sings

It's a song of sweet forgiveness and as the chorus rings

The wind blows clear my memory, the pages start to turn

And suddenly I'm singin' the moment that I learnOne of these days I'm gonna love me

And feel the joy of sweet release

One of these days I'll rise above me

And at last I'll find some peaceThen I'm gonna smile a little

And maybe even laugh a little

But one of these days I'm gonna love me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
