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 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 defense You say you'll forgive and forget But it's only a pretense 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? 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 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? How wrong can I be before I am right? How wrong can I be before I am right? How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right? I don't want to talk, I don't want to fight How wrong can I be before I am right?
