Roy Orbison Knows

[Verse 1]
Well, your voice grips me tight just like fingers
And takes hold of whatever's inside
Though we try to harmonize with different singers
When we're out of tune at least we'll know we've tried
Baby, it's a hopeless feeling
Leaves Mr. Logic reeling
I love you, I know
But what does that mean
When the only place forward is where we've just been?
It's time to think twice
It's time to decide
Turn and keep walking or be my bride
Be my bride, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, Roy Orbison, he knows that I can't forget you
Well, he told me last night at forty-five
Hope this honesty doesn't honestly upset you
He said, "To lie is death to love," I know we're still alive
Baby, when the morning's breaking
So many actresses already started faking
I love you, I know
But it's not such a big deal
I'm gonna tape you this song on my reel to reel
It's time to think twice
Make up your mind
Take me to the altar or leave me behind
Leave me behind, yeah
Or you leave me behind

[Verse 3]
Well, my memories, they lie to me just because they want to
Like a runaway train, you know I have no control, yeah
I'm gonna tell them where you live
So that they can go and haunt you
And take back all the parts of me you stole
I no longer feel like crying
My nervous system's dying
I love you, I know
But I'm anaesthetised
I was foolishly hopeful, now I've realised
It was time to think twice
And you had to go
I hope that you blossom, I hope that you grow
Write me a postcard, some little thing
If you get married, I'll carry the ring
If you get married, introduce me to him, yeah
Introduce me to him, yeah

[Outro]
Crying over you
Crying over you
Crying over you
Crying over you
