This Time

A blues lyric

I looked into those eyes

and I refused to let it shine.

you and I go down

that road too many time.

Oh, I felt my heart crispin'

I walked away in lies.

I knew I was deceivin'

Why would you change my mind?

Just look my way again

and I know I'll fall this time.

Oh just look my way once more

and I won't need any other sign.

Fallin' for you baby

is like drinkin' bitter wine.

Ya I fell hard but maybe

there's good in what we find.

I looked into your eyes

and I fell out of my mind.

Ya, you and I got down

and I pretend now that I'm fine.

Walkin' away now baby

don't try and pretend you're kind.

I know you're bad and lonely

And I won't be  a wastin' time.

Fallin' for you baby

is like drinkin' bitter wine.

Fallin' for you but maybe

I won't hit my head this time.

You know what? I was just gonna say this was a fine bluesy lyric piece and then I looked at your description and smacked my forehead. Have you met me? I am Captain Obvious!
I like the grit this one has - indicative of the genre - there is a strength in the heartache. Yeah, you kicked the crap out of me and it hurt but I am not incapacitated kind of thing. I like the repetitive elements in this as well.

umm... why did you smack your forehead exactly? LOL Thanks so much for the kind review ;)

reminds me of some lyrics that say 'come on and kill me baby while you smile like a friend...and i'll come running just to do it again...' brings to mind someone who is madly in love, and takes the cons with the pros.
