Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I can't believe your calling me Did you run out of things to do Are you bothered by my old memory Has guilt got the best of you I can't imagine what you'd want with me You must have come up short tonight But I thought you were happy being free But your voice tells me that's not right Guess things are tough all over Even on the single side of town I guess it's harder than you thought it be Without my loving arms around And now the beating of your lonely heart Is the cold nights only sound Guess things are tough all over When old memories get you down Well you ask me if I think about you What are you expecting me to say Well I do but I can live without you It's too late to ask anyway So if you're calling for sympathy Cause I'm getting harder to forget I won't be a one night remedy To help you live with your regret Guess things are tough all over Even on the single side of town I guess it's harder than you thought it be Without my loving arms around And now the beating of your lonely heart Is the cold nights only sound Guess things are tough all over When old memories get you down
