lyrics for
Tears Before Bedtime

I see that strange look
In your eyes once again
And the name on the tip of your tongue
Is of a woman and not a man

Chorus:
There'll be tears before bedtime
There'll be trouble tonight
I don't want to talk about it anymore
Oh I don't want to fight
How wrong can I be before I am right

The pain that I've given you
There is no defence
You say you'll forgive and forget
But it's only a pretence

(Chorus)

Either you can leave the past behind
Or give me something to disconnect my mind
I sleep with my fists clenched tight
When I don't lie awake all night
I guess time gave up the ghost too late
And the balance of our love
Very soon turns to hate

Suspicion and silence
Still torture my night
And the cruel words of anger
That run through all our fights

(Chorus)

How wrong can I be before I am right
How wrong can I be before I am right
