Smile When You Call Me That

歌詞

You're gonna say I told you so I never should have let you go Ain't it funny that here we are The two of us in two different bars In separate cages dancing slow We ain't got nobody to call our own You can always go back home You just might be there alone I'm drunk and you're insane I can't quit and you won't change Ain't no halfhearted Romeo Why do you treat me so? Like our love's a joke Hurts too much to laugh Can't you at least smile When you call me that Days are harder than you would believe I ain't having luck making ends meet If time were money then look at me I'm richer than a poor man should be Price of admission is much too steep For broke uneducated clowns like me It may be true I was first to leave But now I'm begging you please My heart's on my sleeve And I'm tipping my hat Can't you at least smile When you call me that Not much is certain but this is true My arms are useless if they don't have you They hang around me with nothing to do I'm hoping you and yours are lonesome too Neon's buzzing and here I am Last one standing, last call again While you're unfolding in a stranger's hands I'll drink up and be somebody's man Angels can walk I've seen it before They turn handles, they open doors They act like devils, now you've been warned They'll vanish when love is war I'm down on my knees And you won't have me back But can't you at least smile When you call me that
