The Minute I'm Gone
|
Song Notes:
On again - off again love affairs work like a revolving door, spreading ripples of chaos through the lives of the people involved. The core of this tune is a beat-down groove that holds down the "dull ache" of it all while the story unfolds on top of it.
Lyrics
The minute I'm gone you want me back
You're slamming down that door to make the paint crack
I can set my watch I've been keeping track
The minute I'm gone you want me back
You kicked me out again from our love shack
You've had it with this girl that's a natural fact
Then you call me up I just have to laugh
The minute I'm gone you want me back
Want me back, want me back
You want me back now
You oughta look behind at our love track
You oughta check it out all the zig zags
And maybe I should check my head for cracks
The minute you call I come running back
Running back, running back
I come running back yeah
Running back, running back
Running back, running back
I wish I had a nickle
I wish I had a dime
I wish I had a man to love me all the time
I got me a nickle
Lost myself a dime
and I found me a man
Now I'm crying all the time
mmhmm, crying all the time
You all pull up your chairs and have a sit-back
We're gonna
do our dance 'round the same track
It ain't exactly love, but it's a fact
The minute you call I come running back
yeah heah
Running back, running back,
Ooh running back
etc...
