tangled rag #56

Just like a knit sweater that I don't want to snag
Just like potato chips spilling from the bag
I have this situation, and I have it bad
Just one more tug at my heart, and
and I'll be havin a cryin jag

Consider Solomon and all those Bible guys
That many women can not be very wise
Couldn't bifurcate like that even if I tried
Would make one happy, make the others cry
Don't wanna be that kind of guy

Did I think that somebody
would pull me from this?
Was I hopin forgetfulness
would finally bring some bliss?
Can't forget the sweetness
though it's been a while
Sure as I live
Somethin's gonna give
Gonna reach out for that smile

Been workin all this out for a summer of days
Leavin behind more and more of my foolish ways
Keep uncovering me no matter what they say
Try out a whole new song, and see if that one plays
Out there on a sweltering day

Did I think that somebody
would pull me from this?
Was I hopin forgetfulness
would finally bring some bliss?
Can't forget the sweetness
though it's been a while
Sure as I live
Somethin's gonna give
Gonna reach out for that smile
