Knew it wouldn’t last
(Now she’s gone)
Now her die is cast
(Should’ve known)
Guess it’s just her style
(To break a heart)
Get out my cryin’ towel
(Go on and start)
Yeah, I try to break a smile
(No need to try)
‘Cause I miss my honey child
(Go on and cry)
And it’s rainin’ in my heart
(Oh and how)
I knew {the tour was dark}?
(I now I found)
That I can’t get a hold of myself
Now my heart’s set for nobody else
Darling you’ve been controlling my life
I don’t know what to do
I keep reachin’ for you
Oh girl
I can’t get a hold of myself
I ain’t learned yet to live by myself
Darling you were the warmth in my life
I miss holding you tight
I reach out in thе night
Oh lord I…
-(Orchestral break)-
Now the pagе is set
(Oh do your….?)
And I’ll try to play my best
(To win her back)
I she could see the shape -
(I’m in again)
She would surely take -
(Me back again)
Oh lord I can’t get a hold of myself
Now my heart’s set for nobody else
Darling you’ve been controlling my life
I don’t know what to do
I keep reachin’ for you
Oh girl
I can’t get a hold of myself
I ain’t learned yet to live by myself
Darling you were the warmth in my life
I miss holding you tight
I reach out in the night
Oh lord I can’t get a hold of myself
Now my heart’s set for nobody else
Darling you…
