Skeeter Davis - Instinct for Survival lyrics

rate me

(Jim Glaser)

Believe me I ain't sayin' this just to hurt your pride

But I can live without you without breaking up inside

I just can't stay here with you now the way you're doing me wrong

Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong.

It's hard for me to understand just what you're searchin' for

And why the touch that thrilled you doesn't move you anymore

You're like the friends you're runnin' with and I just don't belong

Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong.

There's something deep inside of me that's begging me to leave

And I can't stop this feeling without killing part of me.

If I sound cold and uncaring well I don't mean to be

You know the love I have for you is such a part of me

But before I'll let you ruin my life I'll pack up and be gone

Guess my instinct for survival is a little too strong a little too strong.

A little too strong...
