Marshall Crenshaw - I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee) lyrics

rate me

(Ben Vaughn)

When you're young, you do what you think you're 'spossed to (yes you do)

There ain't no big hand from heaven reachin' down to guide you

Well, I thought I loved you; I made a promise that I couldn't keep

Oh I'm sorry, and so is Brenda Lee

We used to laugh at how we would prove them all wrong

And it was gonna be blue skies and endless sweet love songs

Oh nowadays baby, you won't even admit that you once knew me

Well, well, I'm sorry, and so is Brenda Lee

Well, it's funny how the world turns 'round

It's funny how the seasons go

It's funny how it always rains on the day you get your shoes shined

And it's funny, how apart we've grown

Oh yeah baby it looks like you've gone your way,

and I guess I'll go mine

Oh, I know you've got your reasons for being unkind

Aw, but that's all right, darlin'

I'm never gonna miss the way things used to be

Oh I'm sorry, and so is Brenda Lee

Yea I'm sorry, and so is Brenda Lee

Well I'm sorry, and so is Brenda Lee
