Blues Before And After (The Smithereens)

You know I really want to 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) 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) You're takin' just what you need And then you're well on your way (I hear the same old story almost every day) 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 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 want to take you in my arms and you just don't want to 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 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
