Versuri Tears before bedtime
- Elvis Costello

I know the name on the tip of your tongue
And I know that accusing look
Everybody knows I've been so wrong
That's the problem and here's the hook.

Tears before bedtime
There'll be trouble tonight
I don't want to talk about it anymore
I don't want to have another fight
I don't want to talk I don't want to fight
How wrong can I be before I am right.

For the tears that you boo hoo hoo hoo
There can be no defence
You say you'll forgive and forget

But it's only a pretence.

Either you can leave the past behind
Or give me something to disconnect my mind
I sleep with my fists clenched tight
When I don't lie awake all night
I guess time gave up the ghost too late
And the balance of our love
Very soon turns to hate.

Darling your suspiciousness
Tortures me at night
But I can't excuse the cruel words
That I use whenever we fight.

(chorus)
