Joy (I Know It) - Odyssey

I don't know why I thought that you could make me happy These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door And now I know you don't care I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I used to think you were my pretty angel coming down Well, now you've just proven me wrong, yeah What about the letters we have written? All the things we've said and done But I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No, I'm not gonna cry for you anymore I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be? You don't think that I can see You can't fool me 'Cause I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No, I'm not gonna cry for you anymore I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be?

Oh mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed Oh well, enough said I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Oh... Oh mother, I can feel The soil falling over my head See, the sea wants to take me The knife wants to slit me Do you think you can help me? Sad veiled bride, please be happy Handsome groom, give her room Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly Though she needs you more than she loves you And I know it's over, still I cling I don't know where else I can go Over and over and over and over Over and over I know it's over and it never really began But in my heart it was so real And you even spoke to me and said "If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight? And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight? If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight? If you're so very good looking Why do you sleep alone tonight?" I know 'cause tonight is just like any other night That's why you're on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms While they're in each other's arms It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind Over, over, over, over It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate It takes guts to be gentle and kind Over, over Love is natural and real But not for you, my love Not tonight, my love Love is natural and real But not for such as you and I My love Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
