Title
- I get a constant busy signal
- When I call you on the phone
- I get a strong uneasy feeling
- You're not sitting there alone
- I'm having nasty nasty visions
- And baby you're in every one, yeah
- And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
- A still hot, smokin' gun
- Maybe you want to end it
- You've had your fill of my kind of fun
- But you don't know how to tell me
- And you know that I'm not that dumb
- I put two and one together
- And you know that's not an even sum
- And I know just where to find you with
- A still hot, smokin gun
- I'm standing here bewildered
- I can't remember just what I've done
- I can hear the sirens whining
- My eyes blinded by the sun
- I know that I should be running
- My heart's beating just like a drum
- Now they've knocked me down and taken it
- That still hot, smokin' gun
- Yeah, still hot, smokin' gun
- Yes, they've taken it
- Still hot, smokin' gun
- Oh, they've taken it
- Still hot, smokin' gun
- Knocked me down
- Taken it
- I can hear the couple fighting right next door
- Their angry words sound clear thru these thin walls
- Around midnight I hear him shout unfaithful woman
- And I knew right there the axe was gonna fall
- It's because of me
- It's because of me
- I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
- He said baby don't you lie to me no more
- And I'm listening thru these thin walls silently
- As he called out my name I was right next door
- It's because of me
- It's because of me
- She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
- That she was just another notch on my guitar
- She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
- In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
- At daybreak I hear him back and say goodbye
- I can hear him slam the door and walk away
- Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
- I should go to her but what would I say
- It's because of me
- It's because of me
- She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
- That she was just another notch on my guitar
- She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
- In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
- Something happened this morning when I opened my eyes and looked around me
- Something strange was in the air
- But what it was I just could not pin it down
- And then I heard the shower running and I knew what it was
- You were still around
- How many times must I tell ya'
- I'm tired of you and everything you stand for
- I thought we'd reached an agreement
- I thought everything would be all right
- Yeah
- But when I woke up this morning
- I knew everything was wrong
- Everything was wrong
- You were still around
- Still around
- Why can't you show some feeling?
- Why can't you understand?
- Messed up my whole life
- Why wreck my day
- Did my best to love you
- Now do your best to leave
- Can't you see that's what I want
- I really need
- Why can't you show some feeling?
- Why can't you understand
- Messed up my whole life
- Why wreck my day
- I did my best to love you
- Now do your best to leave
- Can't you see that's what I want
- I really need
- I really need
- How many times must I tell ya'
- I'm tired of you and everything you stand for
- I thought we'd reached an agreement
- I though everything would be all right
- But when I woke up this morning
- Everything was wrong
- Everything was wrong
- You were still around
