Blues Before And After Lyrics

Smithereens Blues Before And After

You know I really wanna see you
when you know I might not
(And you make me want you more
when you hurt me a lot)
I say I really love you and
you say that you don't
(And it really turns me on
when you say that you won't)

(chorus)
The blues before and after
I get the blues before and after I'm with you
The blues before and after (after)
I get the blues before and after loving you

Sometimes I need to hear you voice
Sometimes I don't want to know
(I get so tired of tryin' to win you
I just don't want to know)
Yo're takin' just what you need
And then you're well on your way
(I hear the same old story almost every day)

(chorus)

It's a shame that you won't see me
when I need you tonight
Cause I know that if you did
then everything would be right
And I've tried my very best to give
the things that you need
But the blues they seem to
follow me I never succeed

(instrumental)

I wanna take you in my arms
and you just don't wanna know
(When I finally get to touch you
feels like forty below)
Just as always you have gotten your way
Just a normal complication in a typical day

(chorus 4x)
