Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
With number four going back to Mississippi, I wonder what’s in John Madden’s ipod.
Could it be this:
I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had 2 endPurple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rainI only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain
Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can’t seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain
Or maybe this:
Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You’ve got the butterflies all tied up
Don’t make me chase u
Even doves have prideHow can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I’m just 2 demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you’re just like my mother
She’s never satisfiedWhy do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Or maybe:
Talkin’ to herself, there’s no one else who needs to know…
She tells herself, oh…
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along…
Swears she knew it, now she swears he’s goneShe lies and says she’s in love with him, can’t find a better man…
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man…
She lies and says she still loves him, can’t find a better man…
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can’t find a better man…
Can’t find a better man
Can’t find a better man
Yeah…
What am I thinking? Madden probably doesn’t own an ipod. He probably still sits up at night listening to old Coasters eight-tracks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that of course.
For the musically inept, lyrics from: When Doves Cry and Purple Rain (Prince), and Betterman (Pearl Jam)
