Uh Huh
I waited for you as long as I could
but then I had to get while the getting’s good
my friends all said you were lying to me
so far away I ran, hounded by your memory
down the highway, around the bend
into the valley, high on the mountain
I been double-crossed for the very last time
and knowing love like I do, you aren’t that kind
you may never know the pain you put me through
or the dreams I have, or the things I do
so for now I’ll keep on moving down the line
but I know I’ll never leave myself behind.
You hurt the ones that I loved best
but someday, baybee, there’ll be a test
to see what price you’d sell your soul
your heart is darkness, black as coal
there ain’t no way to make it come clean
cuz I’ve been there and I know what I’ve seen
one day you’ll waken, see the blood on your hands
and wonder who the hell is that bald old man
lyin’ there in that big old bed next to you
he’ll be a damned sight uglier than me, I can tell you.
It’s a wonder that you still know how to dream
I can’t remember your face anymore, it seems
your soul has changed, your eyes don’t look into mine,
ain’t it hard to look truth in the eyes, sunny valentine.
