Every Other Thing


The way her dress curves..
when the wind would lightly blow...
would just uno my nerves..
and yet she would never know...
The smell of her perfume...
or the lotion on her skin
always gave me a sweet feeling..
something akin...

to nirvana..../

The gap between her teeth
and that cute way she'd smile
Her hair blowing in the breeze...
Oh and her feminine wiles....
The way that she'd walk....
The sound of her voice when she'd talk..
the good things I remembered about
her...

before all of the drama../

It seemed that every other thing,
every other thing, every other thing
about the girl was so good...
Like nights that I never wanted to end...
How could I have been so mis-understood??
It seemed that every other thing,
every other thing, every other thing
about the girl was so nice...
like the wager that any relationship would last..
is like a roll of the dice....

just a damn roll of the dice../

It wasn't that long ago....
yet it seems like forever...
It really wasn't that long ago...
that we were together...
She was loving me..
I was infatuated beyond compare....
How could she just throw me out of heaven...
Oh how could she dare?/

Who will love me now?
Oh I just don't know...
Sad enough but true...
Girl, it won't be you...
You once seemed like my future...
But now you seem like my past...
Like the wager that any relationship
Has a chance to last.../


It seemed that every other thing,
every other thing, every other thing
about the girl was so good...
Like nights that I never wanted to end...
How could I have been so mis-understood??
It seemed that every other thing,
every other thing, every other thing
about the girl was so nice...
like the wager that any relationship would last..
is like a roll of the dice....

OH It seemed that every other thing,
every other thing, every other thing
about the girl was so good...
Like nights that I never wanted to end...
How could I have been so mis-understood??
It seemed that every other thing,
every other thing, every other thing
about the girl was so nice...
like the wager that any relationship would last..
is like a roll of the dice....


just a damn roll of the dice../
