Tears Before Bedtime Lyrics
I know the name on the tip of your tongue
And I know that accusing look
Everybody knows I've been so wrong
That's the problem and here's the hookTears before bedtime
There'll be trouble tonight
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I don't wanna have another fight
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am rightFor the tears that you boo hoo hoo
There can be no defense
You say you'll forgive and forget
But it's only a pretence
Tears before bedtime
There'll be trouble tonight
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I don't wanna have another fight
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am rightEither you can leave the past behind
Or give me something to disconnect my mind
I sleep with my fists clenched tight
When I don't lie awake all nightI guess time gave up the ghost too late
And the balance of our love
Very soon turns to hateDarling, your suspiciousness
Tortures me at night
But I can't excuse the cruel words
That I use whenever we fight
Tears before bedtime
There'll be trouble tonight
I don't wanna talk about it anymore
I don't wanna have another fight
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am rightHow wrong can I be before I am right
How wrong can I be before I am right
How wrong can I be before I am rightI don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am right
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am rightI don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am right
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am rightI don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am right
I don't wanna talk, I don't wanna fight
How wrong can I be before I am right
