INDIGO GIRLS - Second Time Around lyrics

rate me

<BR>

The second time around, you know it really got me down. <br>

Sister don't you judge it, just keep it to yourself now. And <br>

If you ain't got nothing good to say, don't say nothing at all. <br>

<br>

I go bitten by the bitter bug, and now I just can't get enough <br>

Of ill will and my own conceit. I'm weary of the world it seems. <br>

I'm weary of the world, weary of the world it seems. <br>

<br>

It's sort of always gone my way. I'm just a little bit off these <br>

Days. Like I've had hard knocks all my life, like I'm a Bible <br>

Belt wife. Like I didn't see it coming, like I didn't walk it <br>

Willingly. <br>

<br>

See, I never want to sing again. La la la like a butterfly. <br>

Without my wits about me, without my heart in line. <br>

Third time's a charm and this mine. <br>

<br>

You said you heard Loretta sing and felt the loneliness <br>

Seeping in. The cowboys made you uneasy, you're a <br>

God-fearing lesbian. So you learn not to yearn and you <br>

Take it on the chin again. <br>

<br>

Here's what I find about compromise-Don't do it if it <br>

Hurts inside, cause either way you're screwed, eventually <br>

You'll find. You may as well feel good; you may as well <br>

Have some pride. <br>

<br>

Come August we'll go to Cherokee and hear Loretta do <br>

Her thing. Pack it into the Indian casino and make the <br>

Hillbilly scene, kick up our heels and join in. <br>

<br>

Are you my ally or my enemy? Do you have <br>

Self-loathing or empathy? Can you keep me in your prayers <br>

Sister. Can you keep me in there somewhere? And <br>

Sister if you ain't go nothing good to say:don't say <br>

Nothing at all.<br>

<BR><BR>
