You know I really wanna see you when you know I might not
(And you make me want you more when you hurt me a lot)
I say I really love you and you say that you don`t
(And it really turns me on when you say that you won`t)
CHORUS
The blues before and after
I get the blues before and after I`m with you
The blues before and after
I get the blues before and after loving you
Sometimes I need to hear you voice
Sometimes I don`t want to know
(I get so tired of tryin` to win you I just don`t want to know)
Yo`re takin` just what you need
And then you`re well on your way
(I hear the same old story almost every day)
CHORUS
It`s a shame that you won`t see me when I need you tonight
Cause I know that if you did then everything would be right
And I`ve tried my very best to give the things that you need
But the blues they seem to follow me I never succeed
I wanna take you in my arms and you just don`t wanna know
(When I finally get to touch you, feels like forty below)
Just as always you have gotten your way
Just a normal complication in a typical day
