David Gates I Use The Soap lyrics

I use the soap to wash the dirt off my face
I write with pencil so that I can erase
But what`s to do when someone`s taken my place with you, with you

I know to stop when the light turns to red
And when it rains I know to cover my head
But what`s to do when I wished I were dead over you, over you, over you

Do do do do do etc.
Plannin` to write off tomorrow
Do do do do do etc
Hopin` to wash off the sorrow

I woke to find that my world was not there
It ceased to me when I found you did not care
And my ambition vanished into thin air along with you, with you

Now my emotions find it hard to let go
And as for me I`ll find a new road to hoe
But maybe this time I will take it more slow than before, before
Than before
