Brett Perkins - When You Gonna Figure It Out? lyrics

Another judgement day. Another pa**ion play. Another price to pay. All for pity's sake. Don't want him callin' on your phone. Don't want him comin' to your home. Say you just want to be alone In a Greta Garbo way. And you call yourself a purist Cuz you cry out loud Like you're crying now But I say you're just a tourist In the land of love. Come on and give it up When you gonna figure it out? So you met him at a party and you took him on home And for the next six weeks you were never alone. Told you that he loved you, told you you were right Showed you he was hungry in the middle of the night And you said you always wanted him to follow his dreams And "Don't go changing just to try to please me." But when those dreams led him out the door Decided you don't really want to love him no more Well front on this. Front on this. You don't own the man with your body and bliss And what you call love, trust and affection Seems to be coming from the wrong direction Sound likes grasping, sounds like pain Sounds like the opposite of communicate And if you keep going with a heart so closed May find yourself with your own hand to hold And you call yourself a purist Cuz you cry out loud Like you're crying now But I say you're just a tourist In the land of love. Come on and give it up When you gonna figure it out? So you say you got hurt went to find yourself another Looking for a girlfriend, looking for a lover Liked the way she smiled, liked the way she'd flirt Liked the way she looked in that little black skirt. So you took her on home, thought the party'd never end But now there's too much time with her mother and friends Shopping on the tv, talking on the phone Leaving you to puzzle over dinner alone Well front on this. Front on this. You don't own the girl with your gold and gifts And what you call love, trust and relations Seems to be coming from a time more ancient Sound likes grasping, sounds like hate Sounds like the opposite of communicate And if you keep hunting with a heart so cold May find yourself with a life time alone When you gonna figure it out?
