Violent Femmes - I Know It's True but I'm Sorry to Say lyrics

rate me

I know it's truebut I'm sorry to say

Yesterdays a day away.

Nothing I can do to make it stay like that.

Ain't that a fact.

I know it's truebut I'm sorry to say

I just can't handle things this way.

I know it's latebut I'd like to stay a whilesee you smile.

Will you meet me in the morningwith sun fresh on the dew?

Will you meet me in the afternoonmade just for me and you?

Will you meet me in the eveningwhen the nighttime starts to crawl?

Will you meet me in the hall?

Will you meet me on the wall?

Will you meet me at all?

One more timeone more time.

Shaking up and down my spine.

Jump a rope or skip a line or two.

What can I do?

One more timeone more time.

Color flashing neon signs.

Advertising a friend of my distractionlatest attraction.

Oh my body has been punished.

LordI think I've had enough.

Oh my body has been punished

With too much and not enough.

Oh my body has been punished

And my mind can no longer bluff.

My mind is so unkindmy mind is so unkind.

It keeps me crying all the time.

I know it's truebut I'm sorry to say

Yesterdays a day away.
