Too Many Times Before

Too many times Before © Paul J Penton 2009

I’ve been here before in a fancy restaurant
sittin’ cross the table hearing how you want
everything to work out right
but I’ve learned to read the signs
you’d better get – your story straight
’cause I can read between the lines

and I’ve been here too many times before
I’ve been here too many times
You tell me what’s in your heart
and I might speak my mind
I’ve been here too many times

Yeah, I’ve been here before So let’s not waste our time
You tell me your stories I’ll fill you in on mine
And pretty soon we might decide that this has got some legs
Other wise -Let’s call it quits
there’s always other dates

CHORUS

When I was younger I took it all for granted
Relationships they didn’t seem important
I’d love ‘em and leave ‘em lie and deceive em
now everything has changed
I’m a different man
Oh yes I am
‘Cause I’ve been here one too many times

Instrumental as Verse

and I can’t afford to waste my time on someone who don’t fit
my point of view on their debut
so let’s not pretend

CHORUS
I’ve been here many times before
I’ve been here too many times
