Elvis Costello – Tears Before Bedtime Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Almost Blue

I know the name on the tip of your tongue
And I know that accusing look
Everybody knows I^,ve been so wrong
That^,s the problem and here^,s the hook

[Chorus:]
Tears before bedtime
There^,ll be trouble tonight
I don^,t want to talk about it anymore
I don^,t want to have another fight
I don^,t want to talk I don^,t want to fight
How wrong can I be before I am right

For the tears that you boo hoo hoo hoo
There can be no defence
You say you^,ll forgive and forget
But it^,s only a pretence
[ Tears Before Bedtime lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/tears-before-bedtime/ ]

Either you can leave the past behind
Or give me something to disconnect my mind
I sleep with my fists clenched tight
When I don^,t lie awake all night
I guess time gave up the ghost too late
And the balance of our love
Very soon turns to hate

Darling your suspiciousness
Tortures me at night
But I can^,t excuse the cruel words
That I use whenever we fight

[Chorus]
