Puffy Eyes

(album: All About A Feeling - 1973)

Puffy eyes
Aching head
Echoes of the words I said
Keep following me around from room to room
Though I've climbed these stairs before
And knocked on this same door
How much longer will you let me in

I didn't mean all the things I said
But a heart full of regrets
And all the tears these puffy eyes can cry for you
Will do everything we know to do
To try to make it up to you
If you'll just forgive us once again

I would get what was coming to me
If you ever left me, honey
You'd better be off without me
No doubt about it
But I hope you'll stay and love me
And try to understand my crazy way of loving you

Can't you tell these puffy eyes love you
I think that devil must've had a hand
In making me like I am
But I hope I'm worth the time it takes to change
'Cause as mean to you as I seem to be
There's a love as deep as love can be

If I could only make you understand
I would get what was coming to me...
I would get what was coming to me...
