B's Expression

 People think I'm the quiet type
 cause I avoid the crowd and I hide my light
 but what they're thinking just goes to show
 there's a lot that they really don't know  
 

When I reach my limit
I'm gonna go downtown
put on my torn up coat, and walk around
I'm gonna watch the leaves blowing off of the trees
think about Schubert and the Viennese
When I reach my limit I'm gonna go downtown

When I reach my limit
I'm gonna lose my mind
the man you know will be long gone and hard to find
now you don't know what you're doing to me
drive me every which way, one two three
When I reach my limit I'm gonna lose my mind
 

You might think that I'm gonna take
every new demand that you want to make
but keep it up and you're gonna find

you'll wish you never pushed me over the line
 

When I reach my limit
I'm gonna shout out loud
jump up on a table and draw a crowd
I'll be telling you things you never heard before
you'll be crawling out the windows instead of the doors
when I reach my limit I'm gonna shout out loud
 

When I reach my limit
I'm gonna blow my top
gonna come to the end of the line where the sign says Stop
my number's gonna come up, and it might be soon
gonna end up in the backyard grabbing at the moon
when I reach my limit I'm gonna blow my top

 My friends say you're no good for me
you don't know your own mind, you'd never let me be
but I'd give up my friends if I could be with you today
cause all I hear is what your kisses say

Your father tells me to leave you alone
says I'm too old for you, we'd never get along
but I'm not listening to him when he says to stay away
I only know what your kisses say

Might be a fool to pick up the pace
and shorten the distance that keeps us apart
but don't act too soon to turn me away
I'm only marching to the beat of your heart

I tell myself this isn't meant to be
you're from a time and a place too far away from me
but I pay no attention when I'm talking this way
I only hear what your kisses say

And even you my dear seem to know that it's true
you keep pushing my hands, my heart, my love away from you
but I'm not asking you darling to see things my way
just listen to what your kisses say 

You've been stepping in my way
you've been talking when there's nothing to say
now we're alone, and that's one thing
but seems like you're trying to start something

Don't start, don't start, don't start something
you can't finish with me

Your kiss could open doors
your eyes are asking for more
you're near, and getting nearer
what's on your mind couldn't get much clearer

Don't start, don't start, don't start something
you can't finish with me

You know we're supposed to be friends
that's where it starts, that's where it ends
you and me are not a good bet
get any closer and I might forget

I've lived and I've learned
I've been loved and I've been burned
if your kiss doesn't mean that much
you can look but you'd better not touch

Don't start, don't start, don't start something
you can't finish with me
 

There she goes, walking away
and there's still so much you've got to say
but you can't tell her nothing, no, she's just too young
you can see what she's doing
she's gonna drive herself to wrack and ruin
but it's her life to ruin, so man, you'd better bite your tongue

You want to say, watch your step
talk about the changes she ain't been through yet
but you can't help her through 'em, no, better let her run
she's gotta find her way out that door
that you've been through so many times before
but this is her time now, so man, you'd better bite your tongue

Don't tell her future, don't read her palm
don't try to cushion her fall
when she comes crying later, just stay calm
though that's the hardest thing of all

You told the truth, you know she heard
but she can't listen to a single word
and it just doesn't matter, no, if you're the one
she'll only hate you if you get in her way
there's still a chance that she'll be back some day
but that's her own business, so man,
you'd better bite your tongue 

I'm still smiling, so why do you have to cry?
I can walk away, so hey, why shouldn't I?
I can stand to see you fall
it doesn't hurt me at all

It's easy for me, so why is it hard for you?
You're just a whim, I can grin - it's all I ever do
I can watch you climb those walls
it doesn't hurt me at all

You shouldn't take it so hard
there's better ways to spend your time
why can't you understand
you're no fun when you're wasting mine?

Call me cold, but gee, it works for me
say I'm bad, but I've had enough misery
I won't catch you when you fall
it doesn't hurt me at all
it doesn't hurt me at all  

You smiled at first and said you were fine
and there was nothing special on your mind
then you looked away across the street
and said it felt so strange for us to meet

Then you sighed like I hadn't heard in years
and your eyes kinda narrowed up with tears
you said I might as well tell -things aren't going so well

You stay out late at a club or a show
you got a husband but he won't go
his friends don't like all the people you know
those were such good times we had so long ago -

I had to tear myself away from you somehow
I'll be damned but you're even better looking now
Could you tell? Things aren't going so well

Now another midnight has come and gone
I don't have the strength to disconnect the phone
I want to hear your voice - well I do and I don't
can't trust myself - wish I had someone else

I closed the book on that part of my life
on the day you changed into another man's wife
"forsaking all others" were the words you used
I was the one that you didn't choose

If you're over him, you sure could be over me
we could never get back to the way that we used to be
I can just tell - things wouldn't go so well

Now I know better, I'm better off alone
but if it should ring, I'm picking up that phone
I've got no choice in the matter at all
you can wreck my life again, just make that call

I'm balanced at the top of a mountain of need
just one push from you and I'll be picking up speed
straight down to hell
things aren't going so well
