We Better Talk This Over lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think we better talk this over
Maybe when we both get sober
You’ll understand I’m only a man
Doing’ the best that I can

[Verse 2]
This situation can only get rougher
Why should we needlessly suffer?
Let’s call it a day, go our own different ways
Before we decay

[Chorus 1]
You don’t have to be afraid of looking into my face
We’ve done nothing to each other time will not erase

[Verse 3]
I feel displaced, I got a low-down feeling
You been two-faced, you been double-dealing
I took a chance, got caught in the trance
Of a downhill dance

[Verse 4]
Oh, child, why you wanna hurt me?
I’m exiled, you can’t convert me
I’m lost in the haze of your delicate ways
With both eyes glazed
[Chorus 2]
You don’t have to yearn for love, you don’t have to be alone
Somewheres in this universe there’s a place that you can call home

[Verse 5]
I guess I’ll be leaving tomorrow
If I have to beg, steal or borrow
It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half
Look at each other and laugh

[Verse 6]
But I don’t think it’s liable to happen
Like the sound of one hand clappin'
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
’Neath the bed where we slept

[Verse 7]
Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had
Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
Eventually we’ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope

[Verse 8]
Oh, babe, time for a new transition
I wish I was a magician
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
That we’ve both gone beyond
