That's All Lyrics
Genesis
Lyrics
Just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
Tell me it's black, when I know that it's white
Always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but I won't go
Though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turning me on, turning me off
Making me feel like I want too much
Living with you just putting me through it all of the time
Running around, staying out all night
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
Living with you just putting me through it all of the time
I could leave but I won't go
But It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
But why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Truth is I love you
More than I wanted to
There's no point in trying
to pretend
There's been no-one who
Makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together till
the end
But I could leave but I
won't go
It'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
But I love you
More than I wanted to There's no point in trying
to pretend
There's been no-one who makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together to
the end
But just as I thought it was going alright
I find out I'm wrong when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Well I could say day, you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
That's all
