Cannonball Lyrics by Supertramp

The Very Best of Supertramp

0

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
You're telling lies, so don't you criticize
Yeah, I got used, a-messed up and abused
You let me down with all your runnin' round
Still, you pretend and try to call me friend

[Verse 2]
Don't say a word, I know just what I heard
Yeah, you been loose, you just got no excuse
Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age?
I felt it all, just like a cannonball
Oh, hit me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Baby, you got mad, you said that I'm all bad
So what's the use? You lied and that's the truth
You took the key and drove right out on me
I never knew, put all my trust in you
Go!

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
(Huh?)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Okay, that's it, I'm leaving now, I quit
I was unwise, so don't apologize
I paid the price for taking your advice
I felt it all, just like a cannonball
Yeah, like a cannonball

[Bridge]
You can say what you want all day
But I've never been so outraged
Yeah, I'm washing my hands of you
How could you be so untrue?
You know I can't stand no more
You know I can't stand no more
I can't stand no more
Can't stand no more, no

[Outro]
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)
(Shout it out, shout it out)...
