One More Night

Well, it's mixed up confusion From little Miss Intrusion by the back door And she's been busted up and rolled out Piled in, she's down and out, and that's for sure She said, Call me up or call my bluff Play it easy, play it rough, it feels the same And I feel like Shakespeare's King Lear No one's grinnin' ear to ear, what a crying shame You see, these things come on too slow And the world tells me I'm gettin' old But I'll wave goodbye and tip my hat 'Cause I'm not as old as all of that So bust my heart open, tell me a joke And stay with me one more night Well, cheer up, my buttercup Things are always lookin' up from down below No more make-believe, it's what it seems Wipe your nose with my sleeve, they'll never know That we're in this place by happenstance We know the song, we know the dance by memory And by the color of your fingernails I know your mood, it never fails or misses me You see, these things come on too slow And the world tells me I'm getting old But I'll wave goodbye and tip my hat 'Cause I'm not as old as all of that So bust my heart open, tell me a joke And stay with me one more night Well, here's the score, there ain't no war It's all been said and done before, don't tell me lies And if misery needs company Then stay the hell away from me I'm ridin' high And if what you are is what you are Let's buy a rose and steal a car, my lost highway Well, they're talkin' sweet of love's defeat But you're the one I want to meet, and they're in the way You see, these things come on too slow And the world tells me I'm getting old But I'll wave goodbye and tip my hat 'Cause I'm not as old as all of that C'mon now, bust my heart open, tell me a joke And stay with me one more night So I looked out from my balcony A calmness coming over me to my surprise Now all that's lost in things unsaid Don't bother me as they once did, I'm gettin' wise And all these sight-seein' city-tours Show you things you've seen before again and again Now strangers knock upon your door They give you less and ask for more but won't say when You see, these things come on too slow And the world tells me I'm getting old But I'll wave goodbye and tip my hat 'Cause I'm not as old as all of that C'mon now bust my heart open, tell me a joke And bust my heart open, tell me a joke Yeah, bust my heart open, tell me a joke And stay with me one more night Stay with me one more night
