The Kentucky Waterfalls - Tables, Turning lyrics

rate me

I can't win this game we're playing

I lay down all my cards every single time

There's nothing in my hands, but still I'm grasping

Hoping for another sign

You are secret codes I must interpret

You scatter clues around for me to see

On hands and knees I crawl, picking up pieces

Still convinced that I'm lucky

I get so tired, waiting for these tables to turn

You are a lesson I just can't seem to learn

You seldom ask for what you really want

Instead expecting me to read your mind

This game of cat and mouse just leaves me empty

While you are leaving me behind

I cling to every little thing you offer

Comforting myself with every word

Search for signs in songs, but come up empty

Cause I can never quite be sure

I get so tired, waiting for these tables to turn

You are a lesson I just can't seem to learn

Competing for your heart, I am your captive

Bursting into flames of jealousy

So I give you more than what you ask for

Except the chance to miss me

I get so tired waiting for these tables to turn

You are a lesson I just can't seem to learn<br />

<br />
