BITTERSWEET BLUES

by GG on December 7, 2008

Keep my pants on with a skinny brown belt.
Keep my wits about me pretending I never felt
Your little hands touching my face
Well darlin you’re easy to sell

Pull my jacket over my wasted frame
Pull your arm around me and it feels the same
Your head melting up against my arm
Getting so close, my you’re a fancy dame

Stick around for a little while and sing
Stick your hand in mine let me feel that sting
Bittersweet Blues sneaking up behind me
Whispering your name in my ear got that familiar ring

Walk a little while with me tonight
Walk along the river as they turn out the lights
I don’t care who you’re looking at tomorrow
Just stare me down now with your cold-hearted eyes

Someone told me you’re loving another man
Someone said stay away from her if you can
But I know a trainwreck when I see one
And I’m crossing the tracks with a plan

Stick around for a little while and sing
Stick your hand in mine let me feel that sting
Bittersweet Blues sneaking up behind me
Whispering your name in my ear got that familiar ring

Well it’s these Bittersweet Blues that I have
and you’re making them last
