The Singer and You

Blue Rodeo on the stereo
And teardrops in my eyes
Reminding me of five days in May
And how I said I’d try

Was it just bad timing?
Or something I should have done?
That keeps me looking through the crack in the window
And wishing for the sun

And the singer and you and the devil too
They want to tell me what I should do
They want to tell me what I should do

Right is right and wrong is wrong
With every move I made
I couldn’t be what you wanted me to be
Every time you played

Old songs, rehearsed to a tee
Left no room to breathe
And the spirits of tunes - left unsung
Like the ghosts in me

And the singer and you and the devil too
They want to tell me what I should do
They want to tell me what I should do

Guitar solo:

Bridge:
Bop shoo bop bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop bop bop bop she bop

My solo written by you
Was singing the blues
How could I get the rhythm from you?
There’s nothing left to do

Rising star or wounded heart?
Were you teaching me to fly?
Could the bad inside of me
Really be the lie?

And the singer and you and the devil too
They want to tell me what I should do
They want to tell me the things that I should do

Bop shoo bop; bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop; bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop; bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop; bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop; bop bop she bop
Bop shoo bop; bop bop she bop
