Lyrics
Give In
(VS)
I found your picture
That didn't help me a lot
Puerto Vallarta
Y'know you looked pretty hot
You wore hirachis
From down in Mexico Way
And I was dazzled
By every word that you'd say
(BR)
It's all together humbling, my dear
But things are never bad as you fear...
Still, things CAN get bad.
(VS 2)
Well, the inscription
That little thing that you wrote
It said, "I loves ya,
Just thought I'd send you a note"
Well that was last year
I haven't seen hide nor hair
And I'm no psychic,
But I believe you're still there
(BR)
Well, I just have no alternative
I've got to tell you "Live and let live"...
(CHORUS)
Alright; I give in
I'm cool if you win
It's alright I give in
Who cares if you win
(VS 3)
You're such a devil
In such a quizzical way
You make me frantic
With every word that you say
I'll leave a light on
Cuz I still likes ya a lot
Might never see ya -
Hey, that's the goods that I bought
(BR:... Well, I just have no alternative)
(CHORUS)
