Changed My Mind

What’s it going to take to get you here tonight – What’s it going to take for me to do this thing right – for a change – I’ve got to remember – I’m nothing different from those other girls you’ve cared for – Nothing is ever worth it’s weight – if what you’re calling for – is just to procrastinate – another time – another place.
I can’t seem to tell – What it is you’re looking forward to – There’s just no use – There’s just no time to be confused – It’s not me – it’s you.
It pains me to say that we probably shouldn’t meet again – You’ve taken full advantage of my far fetched dreams – I’m way too far from reality – You’ve given me too many reasons to quit while I’m ahead – don’t you get ahead of yourself there’s no use crying over something so brief – We can’t have regrets for such a short-lived relief – From the kinds of troubles a real relationship might bring – Well I’ve got my priorities for this life I’m living in.
To hell with all the trouble I meant to go through just to keep you – around.
What’s it going to take to get you to leave tonight – I’ve got worries about getting the next one right – I ain’t got no time for a fight – led on by all the men – not ready for more than just one night.
I just didn’t see these false hopes coming – Maybe I thought I could turn nothing into something – I’ll give you the benefit of saying the first goodbye – But I’m still leaving – still hoping – to not be alone tonight.
