Lyrics
Verse 1:
You warned me when we met that you were trouble
I thought that I could handle that
I played with fire plenty of times before and aint been burned
I guess this time I met my match
I slipped and found myself head over heels
And you say that's a trip you can't allow
But if you don't want to hear another sad, sad song
You better stop listening now
Chorus:
Cause it's gonna be one of those nights
For singing an old song to cry to
Trying to drown this ache in my heart
From knowing you don't feel like I do
Even after my voice gets hoarse
I'll keep singing anyhow
I thought it was a crush that I'd get over
But I'm too far gone to turn back now
Verse 2:
Run along now there's no use waiting up for me
Who knows how long it'll take to feel alright
But with some George Jones, Nina Simone and Otis Redding
My stereo will get me through the night
I'm gonna sit right down, and work it out
And tomorrow, I'll feel better somehow
And if you don't want to hear another sad, sad song
You better stop listening now
