Elvis Costello - Tears Before Bedtime lyrics

Your rating:


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 defence

You say you'll forgive and forget

But it's only a pretence



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
