Famous quotes by John Boland:
Some Of Shelly's Blues
Tell me just one more time
The reasons why you must leave
Tell me once more why you're sure
You don't need me
Tell me again
But don't think that you'll convince me
Now you've said
Before falling in love again
You'd rather be dead
'Cause when someone breaks your heart
You cry your eyes red
But there's bothing so hard about the life
That you've lead
As far as I can see
There's no reason for goodbyes
You're just runnin' scared
And that's something I won't buy
So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show
But more blues
And all this talk about leaving is strictly
Bad news
So you settle down and stay with the man
That loves you
As far as I can see
There's no reason for goodbyes
You're just runnin' scared
And that's something I won't buy
So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show
But more blues
And this talk about leaving is strictly
Bad news
So you settle down and stay with the man
That loves you
You settle down and stay with the man
