Guess I'll Just Stand Here Looking Dumb

(album: This Much A Man - 1972)

Jumbled thoughts go running through my mind
Lord, say it's not the way it seems
She's walking off with someone else
And I think I know exactly what it means
An emptiness comes over me and
Her leaving will be more than I can bear
I don't wanna see the sun rise in the morning
If I know she won't be there

My mind tells me turn, walk away
'Cause it can't think of anything to say
My body won't move it's too numb
Guess I'll just stand here looking dumb
Guess I'll just stand here looking dumb

I'll put together thoughts and say some words
Of love so strong she'll change her mind
I'll beg and I'll plead and I'll tell her
Of the hurt she'll leave behind
I wish that I could run and find some place to hide
So I could think things out
But I can't find a thing to say
And I forgot what runnin's all about

My mind tells me turn, walk away
'Cause it can't think of anything to say
My body won't move it's too numb
Guess I'll just stand here looking dumb
Guess I'll just stand here looking dumb
Guess I'll just stand here looking dumb
