I Was Gonna Be the One Lyrics by Robin McAuley

Business as Usual

0

Yeah
Oh, it's a crazy situation
For me, that's nothing new
And for your information
I got my eye on everything you do
Can't seem to sleep at night
Knowing who you're kissing
Oh, and when you hold on tight
It sure ain't me you're missing
I wanna know if you keep the light on
It's haunting me, yeah, yeah
Oh, I wanna know when you look in the mirror
You like what you see, is it him or me?
'Cause I was gonna be the one to carry you away
And I had such a perfect plan
But you had to have your fun
And now, honey, I was gonna be the one, yeah
Well, I know I'm getting to you
It seems that ain't enough
Gotta find a way to move you
All I need is a little bit of love
Every night without you
Is more that I can bear
See, I just can't live without your touch
Yеah, but you don't wanna hear it, and you just don't care
Lord, I hate this situation
You'rе not playing by the rules, no, no
I'm sick of your manipulation
I keep hanging on, on, oh, on and on, honey
I was gonna be the one to carry you away
And I had such a perfect plan
But you had to have your fun
And now, honey, I was gonna be the one, yeah
Hey, time I had a little fun around here
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all?
Close your eyes and count to three
Make a wish, and it better be me
Couldn't wait to have your fun
I was gonna be the one
Couldn't wait to have your fun
I was gonna be the one
Wanna know if you keep the light on
It's still haunting me, yeah, yeah
Oh, I wanna know when you look in the mirror
You like what you see, is it him or me?
I was gonna be the one to carry you away
And I had such a perfect plan
But when I turned around
Why you blew this love away
I was gonna be the one to carry you away
And I had such a perfect plan
You couldn't wait to have your fun
Oh, honey
I was gonna be the one
I was gonna be the one
