Steve Earle - I Thought You Should Know lyrics

rate me

I been watchin' you watchin' me

I could feel your eyes from way across the room

But now that I'm holdin' you close I can see

Ain't no way I'm gonna get around you

I won't tell you I don't need you tonight

I won't pretend I ain't burnin' inside

Your skin glowin' soft in the silver moonlight

The shadows where the promises hide

The bittersweet taste of your kiss

It's all more than I can resist

If you're thinkin' ‘bout breakin' my heart

You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go

Somebody else already tore it apart

And I thought you should know

Maybe this is all that you want

Maybe you're just as lonesome as me

A shoulder that you can cry on

A warm safe place you can be

Someone to call in the middle of the night

When the ghosts in your bedroom won't rest

Two arms to hold you tight

I promise that I'll do my best

To give you everything I got to give

And keep your secrets for as long as I live
