There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#lyricsonly
A throwback, part Motown, part Bee Gees, part rock ’n roll ... all over-the-top emotional.

Lyrics

Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t stop thinking about her
Tell her I’ve been strong
Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t live without her
Tell her that I get along
Even though that’s wrong

It’s a lucky thing
That time is an illusion
By now
I should have died
A hundred deaths

If I can last till spring
I might come out of this confusion
But for now
I’ll take
What I can get

Who drew up
The rules to this game
And the part that says
That everyone must lose
What can I do
To erase my name
And say that I refuse

Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t stop thinking about her
Tell her I’ve been strong
Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t live without her
Tell her that I get along
Even though that’s wrong

It’s a mystery
It can’t be explained
That a man
Can survive
Without a heart

I can’t face myself
And I will never be the same
After the things
I did
To take us apart

Who drew up
The rules to this game
And the part that says
That everyone must lose
What can I do
To erase my name
And say that I refuse

Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t stop thinking about her
Tell her I’ve been strong
Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t live without her
Tell her that I get along
Even though that’s wrong

Who drew up
The rules to this game
And the part that says
That everyone must lose
What can I do
To erase my name
And say that I refuse

Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t stop thinking about her
Tell her I’ve been strong
Don’t tell my baby
That I can’t live without her
Tell her that I get along
Even though that’s wrong

I sang the whole thing in my head as I read it! This would be so easy to put to music. Wish I was a musician and not primarily a lyricist. Really well done!
