Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Every night you go to bed crying There's nothing left to do when love is dying So before the whole world knows, how we're hurting Don't you think it's time we pull the curtains' So many times, I talked you out of leaving And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling I guess we've tried and failed once too often Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking That just about does it, don't it That'll just about kill it, won't it Maybe we should call a truce We could but what's the use That just about does it, don't it It's sad to think that words could come between us And what I said, God knows I didn't mean it It's time we realize this time it's over It's tearing us apart to stay together And that just about does it, don't it That'll just about kill it, won't it Maybe we should call a truce We could, but what's the use That just about does it, don't it Maybe we should call a truce We could, but what's the use That just about does it, don't it, don't it
