Lyrics
(c) (Matthews/McEwan/Adams)
Clock ticks a whole lot faster these days
Crosses on the calendar burn red
I really should be smarter
with my sad romantic ways
I laugh at all the crazy things I say
Don't wanna be everything to everyone
but I'd like to be something to someone
Love ain't always pretty
love ain't always right
just another lonely shoulder
to ease me through the night
From this side of the morning
I know it's not right
love ain't always pretty
will you stay with me tonight ?
Too old for playing
stupid childish games
I prefer to live this life
with a smile
seems to me you sit there
and you're thinking just the same
won't you stay with me a while ?
Don't wanna be everything ...
