Surprises - Don't Tell Her Why lyrics

She's got a kitchen, stuck full of knifes that she saves Plays on the driveway, her father I never repaid Slipped out the back door, holding my plans Wrote you a letter with these faulty hands Don't tell her why Don't cause a scene Tell her that Jesus, he came back for me Tell her the sky opened its arms and took me away Maybe my car burst into flames Based on the wreckage I don't feel a thing You tell her anything, just don't tell her why Lived on a dirt road that led us to nowhere and fast Worked on the hosiery on weekends to make extricate Made her a promise that I couldn't keep Hardly afforded this bus ride to leave Don't tell her why Don't cause a scene Tell her that Jesus, he came back for me Tell her the sky opened its arms and took me away Maybe my car burst into flames Based on the wreckage I don't feel a thing You tell her anything, just don't tell her why Would you go away How could you crack under such great waves Don't tell her why would I go away Away Don't tell her why Don't cause a scene Tell her that Jesus, he came back for me Tell her the sky opened its arms and took me away Maybe my car burst into flames Based on the wreckage I don't feel a thing You tell her anything You tell her anything You tell her anything Just don't tell her why
