(Something's Got To) Give Pretty Soon Lyrics

Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Decoration Day

Way you look at me like that, somethingÅ got to give pretty soon
Throw it on a camelÅ back, somethingÅ got to give pretty soon
Living hard to chase the dream, way beyond our ways and means
Yours donÅ mean a goddamn thing.
ThatÅ what you said, but, donÅ believe it.

That shattered look upon your face, somethingÅ got to give pretty soon.
Swallow, but canÅ stand the taste, bark at the wind, chase the moon
Living fast and drinking lots. List of things we havenÅ got.
Tired of life with the have-nots
ThatÅ what you said and I believe it.

Maybe what you needÅ for someone to send you flowers
Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to
show you more than charm and take you on your way
to where you want to be at the end of the day
and it breaks my heart in two to know it ainÅ meant to be
but, it ainÅ me. It ainÅ me.

And you say itÅ these things I do, about me thatÅ attracted you
so if I started doing something else, what would we have left.
And you say you just want compromise, then act so different all the time.
These reasons why you said goodbye, just another way of telling lies.

SomethingÅ got to give, got to give pretty soon
or else weÅ e gonna lose the very things that made it bloom
Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room
while the world goes on around us

SomethingÅ got to give, got to give pretty soon
or else weÅ e gonna hate each other
and that would be the saddest thing I ever seen.
