Patterson Hood - (Something's Got To) Give Pretty Soon lyrics

Way you look at me like that, something's got to give pretty soon Throw it on a camel's back, something's got to give pretty soon Living hard to chase the dream, way beyond our ways and means Yours don't mean a goddamn thing That's what you said, but don't believe it That shattered look upon your face, something's got to give pretty soon Swallow, but can't stand the taste, bark at the wind, chase the moon Living fast and drinking lots. List of things we haven't got Tired of life with the have-nots That's what you said and I believe it Maybe what you need is for someone to send you flowers Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to Show you more than charm and take you on your way To where you want to be at the end of the day And it breaks my heart in two to know it ain't meant to be But it ain't me. It ain't me And you say it's the things I do, about me that's attracted you So if I started doing something else, what would we have left And you say you just want compromise, then act so different all the time These reasons why you said goodbye, just another way of telling lies Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon Or else we're gonna lose the very things that made it bloom Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room While the world goes on around us Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon Or else we're gonna hate each other And that would be the saddest thing I ever seen
