Target Practice

Lucy took her shoes, her new dancing shoes
And she walked all night, walked all night
But how she smiled in the morning, oh she smiled in the morning

I said "Settle down, don't be afraid
There's an answer for everything"
I looked so ashamed, like a casual stranger

And through her eyes, too tired to argue
I knew how she felt, so I didn't try to argue (didn't try to argue)

Like at target, target, target practice
Are you trying hard to hit me?
Target, target, target practice
Are you trying to forget me?
(Target, target practice)

And Lucy took her time in between shots
Explained mistakes that were planned
Somehow I understood, though I would have loved to be there

And I said "Settle down
What would it take to be a part of your dream?"
I felt so ashamed, like a casual stranger

And through her eyes, too tired to argue
I knew how she felt, so I didn't try to argue (didn't try to argue)

Like at target, target, target practice
Are you trying hard to hit me?
Target, target, target practice
Are you trying to forget me?
(Target, target practice)

And through her eyes, too tired to argue
I knew how she felt, so I didn't try to argue (didn't try to argue)

Like at target, target, target practice
Are you trying hard to hit me?
Target, target, target practice
Are you trying to forget me?

Target, target, target practice
Are you trying hard to hurt me?
Target, target, target practice
Target, target, target practice
Target, target, target practice
