Elvis Costello & the Attractions

Tears Before Bedtime
I know the name on the tip of your tongue And I know that accusing lookEverybody knows I've been so wrongThat's the problem, and here's the hook[Chorus:]Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonightI don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have another fightI don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right?For the tears that you boo-hoo-hoo-hoo There can be no defenseYou say you'll forgive and forgetBut it's only a pretense Either you can leave the past behindOr give me something to disconnect my mindI sleep with my fists clenched tight When I don't lie awake all nightI guess time gave up the ghost too lateAnd the balance of our loveVery soon turns to hateLetras de cancionesDarling, your suspiciousnessTortures me at nightBut I can't excuse the cruel wordsThat I use whenever we fight[Chorus] From Letras Mania
