Foghat - Burnin' the midnight oil lyrics

rate me

shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone

I've got nowhere to run

I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone

I've got nowhere to run

she's gone and I know, that the pain is beginnin' to show

I'm hurting inside

my world fell apart, but love's still burning in my heart

but where can I hide

love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone

yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil

there's a voice in my head runnin' over everything she said

and I can't erase it

love was a game, well I lost and it's a cryin' shame

but I gotta face it

nowhere to go, and time is moving slow

yeah, burnin' the midnight oil, yeah, burnin'

burnin' the midnight oil, hot water getting ready to boil

drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired

I'm so high, I think I'll never be tired

feeling sad and I'm mad, all the bad luck that I've had

shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone

I've got nowhere to run

I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone

I've got nowhere to run

(2x)

I'll lay back on my bed, memories runnin' through my head

I tried to forget

the clock's striking twelve, I'm still trying to convince myself

it's not over yet

love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone

yeah, burnin' the midnight oil, yea-ee-yea, burnin' the midnight oil
