(Something's Got To) Give Pretty Soon

Lyrics

Way you look at me like that
 Something's got to give pretty soon
 Throw it on a camel's back
 Something's got to give pretty soon
 Living hard to chase the dream
 Way beyond our ways and means
 Yours don't mean a goddamn thing
 That's what you said, but don't believe it
 ♪
 That shattered look upon your face
 Something's got to give pretty soon
 Swallow, but can't stand the taste
 Bark at the wind, chase the moon
 Living fast and drinking lots
 List of things we haven't got
 Tired of life with the have-nots
 That's what you said and I believe it
 Maybe what you need is for someone to send you flowers
 Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to
 Show you more than charm and take you on your way
 To where you want to be at the end of the day
 It breaks my heart in two to know it ain't meant to be
 But it ain't me, it ain't me
 ♪
 Said that it's the things I do
 About me that's attracted you
 So, if I started doing something else
 What would we have left?
 And you say you just want compromise
 Then act so different all the time
 Now reasons why you said goodbye
 Just another way of telling lies
 Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon
 Or else we're gonna lose the very things that made it bloom
 Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room while the world goes on around us
 Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon
 Or else we're gonna hurt each other
 And that would be the saddest thing I ever seen
