S.J. Tucker - Don't Get My Hopes Up lyrics
[S.J. Tucker - Don't Get My Hopes Up lyrics]
Lately I'm a little bit prickly
Everything hurts when you fall in
Love hard enough, rock bottom
Doesn't feel so bad, no
I wouldn't quite call this bitchy
-when I am on
My best behavior I'll fool you like a
Grown-up little girl who didn't know
How good she had it before
When desire walks through your door
And all hell breaks loose times four
You'll understand and maybe you
Won't pull smooth maneuvers on
Your suitors anymore oh
Don't you go getting my hopes up, girl
You'll be sorry and so will I
Last thing either one of us needs is
Yet another reason to cry
I know that I'm your last in line
I oughtta know better than to call you mine
Say a flat out "no" to my face, that's finе
But don't get my hopes up, girl
Lately I'm a prеtty good swimmer -
So far up the creek cuz I fell in
Love hard enough hot water
Doesn't seem so dire, no
I must've quit paying attention, baby
I have to tell you the line is
Blurred pretty bad between the
Frying pan and the fire
When love creeps up on you and fries your
Circuit's through and through you'll
Understand and maybe
Forgive me my trespasses, for I
Know not what I do oh
Don't you go getting my hopes up, boy
You'll be sorry and so will I
I'm not one for second chances
Once you've made me cry
My dance card's full, my waiting list
Is too backed up for shit like this
Go ahead and pretend that I don't exist
But don't get my hopes up, boy
When desire walks through your door
And all hell breaks loose times four
You'll understand and maybe you
Won't demand good manners from
Your lovers anymore oh
Don't you go getting my hopes up, love
You'll be sorry 'til the day you die
I see you wishing on your star
And wishes cannot lie
I make 'em too, or haven't you heard
Waste a few on you cuz I never did learn
I know courage is harder to show than concern
And you can't steal fire and not get burned
I will try to hold out and wait my turn
But don't get my hopes up, love
Everything hurts when you fall in
Love hard enough, rock bottom
Doesn't feel so bad, no
I wouldn't quite call this bitchy
-when I am on
My best behavior I'll fool you like a
Grown-up little girl who didn't know
How good she had it before
When desire walks through your door
And all hell breaks loose times four
You'll understand and maybe you
Won't pull smooth maneuvers on
Your suitors anymore oh
Don't you go getting my hopes up, girl
You'll be sorry and so will I
Last thing either one of us needs is
Yet another reason to cry
I know that I'm your last in line
I oughtta know better than to call you mine
Say a flat out "no" to my face, that's finе
But don't get my hopes up, girl
