(Why Did You Have To Go And) Pick On Me

(album: Frozen In The Night - 1978)

I can't wait here forever
While you stall, trying to make up your mind
Trying to read you is like predicting the weather
You're so hard to find
You had the whole wide world as your playground
You had all the fish in all the seas
You're smiling so cool, you leave me standing like a fool
Why did you have to go and pick on me

You tell me to wait for tomorrow
Well all I see is today
And I don't have any time left to borrow
Since you've come, you've stolen it all away
I was flying so high I was dizzy
I was spinning so fast I couldn't see
You turned to me with that smile
You leave me helpless as a child
Why did you have to go and pick on me

How many time do I say I love you
How many times do I have to try
It was never my need to smother you
And how many times do I have to watch you say goodbye

You say I'm in love with a daydream
I say you're in love with being free
You turn and walk away and there ain't nothing left to say
Why did you have to go and pick on me
