I'll Just Drown You Out
Perry Campanella 1948 (FL)
How I'm gon'a drown you out
I don't want or need you anymore
your words once sweet no-doubt
in my ear assurin' me our love was pure
You just led me on for, what, one last time
your cheatin' heart, leaves me to believe no word
while your actions tell me - you will never be all mine
no need to say it - I've already heard,
Sorry doesn't cut it - lies won't matter now
you just completely made up my mind
just don't want you, I won't listen anyhow
why is no law to make a broken heart a crime,
Well I'll take my chances, too walk alone,
with no way to make you pay for your lies
I'll leave you now, work my own way home
time to dry tears from my eyes,
Chasein' once good ole' dreams, now alone,
single, is what I'm now all about...
I'll roam where you can't shout, home,
with ears closed, surly I'll just drown you out
