Lloyd Cole - There For Her (Don't Get Weird on Me Babe)
sometimes i get to thinking
i'm a hurting kind of guy
why'd that woman leave me for a lesser kind
if you don't know now, then you never will
is what she said
she said i didn't listen
well i know that that's untrue
she said i didn't understand her
well i guess that you do
well i guess you do
summer came around
her old blanket on the floor
i woke to the slamming of the door
then the rain came
and i just let it pour all over me
sometimes i get to thinking
i've been wronged by my own kind
downed by my own undertakings
now i'm down by the water, black water
and i'm looking in
she said i wouldn't miss her
well you know that that's unfair
she said i wasn't there for her
well i never would have been there
no sir, if not for her
summer comes around
and i miss that woman more
i guess i'll get me somewhere by the fall
when the rain comes
well i'll just let it pour all over me
sometimes i get to thinking
i'm a hurting kind of guy
why'd that woman leave me for a lesser kind
if you don't know now, then you never will
is what she said
summer comes around
and i miss that woman more
i guess i'll get me somewhere by the fall
when the rain comes
well i'll just let it pour all over me
