about

I lead a colorful life. That's all I can say. Based on a true story.

lyrics

can’t seem to figure out your smoky ways
just when I seem to have you
I try to reach out and grab you
but you slip right through my hands and drift away

can’t get a handle on your disposition
sometime sunny, next day stormy
guess that’s why you’ll never bore me
i’ll just have to rely on my intuition

but somehow my psychic powers failed me (ooh …)
on the day I opened my mail to find
your wedding invitation
with another name in the place
I had expected to see mine
hit from the blind side
just couldn’t see how you could do that to me (ah …)

so for now i’ll keep your secret
never let on that she won’t get you completely
no matter what vow you speak (dah dah …)

you can give her everything
including the ring
but I occupy the inside

eternity is a mighty long time to wait
for you to get your shit together
say goodbye and just forget her
cause forever’s much too long to live a mistake

we both know the background’s not big enough to hold our love
sooner or later she’s bound to see
that piece of me you keep inside
but deny when you tell her she’s enough

no matter how sincere or how sweet
with me she can’t compete
cause my heart was promised to you
from on high before its first beat (ah …)

she can have everything
including the ring
but I occupy the inside
you can give her everything (ooh …)
including the ring
but she’ll never be satisfied
cause i’m inside

truth is that all three of us know (ooh …)
eventually you’ll have to go
cause the seam is loose
the hem’s about to show (ah …)

she can have everything
including the ring
but I still occupy the inside
you can give her everything
including the ring
but she’ll still be denied
and we both know why
