Elliott Smith - Antonio Carlos Jobim lyrics
[Elliott Smith - Antonio Carlos Jobim lyrics]
Why are you here couldn't you tell him
Were you afraid he'd hear
You should have been thankful to be alone
You took off your shoes
Said anything further would be bad news
Because you'd already started to disappear
And he couldn't complain
Just looked at your lyric and
Crossed over to play
A record of quiet instrumentals
And I like what you wrote
This is a record full of sour notes
You should've been thankful to be alone
And I like what you wrote
But don't say you mean it
When you know you don't
You should have been thankful to be alone
You know
You should have been thankful to be alone
You know
You should have been thankful to be alone
Were you afraid he'd hear
You should have been thankful to be alone
You took off your shoes
Said anything further would be bad news
Because you'd already started to disappear
And he couldn't complain
Just looked at your lyric and
Crossed over to play
A record of quiet instrumentals
And I like what you wrote
This is a record full of sour notes
You should've been thankful to be alone
And I like what you wrote
But don't say you mean it
When you know you don't
You should have been thankful to be alone
You know
You should have been thankful to be alone
You know
You should have been thankful to be alone
