Lyric Alternative To Love

Brendan Benson - Alternative to love

Maybe if I lay real still
It will go away, maybe it will
Maybe this I won t budge
Maybe I just need a little nudge
Maybe this time I won t flinch
Maybe this time it might be a sinch
Maybe this time I won t run
Maybe I ll own up to what I ve done
What have I done?
What have I done?

Maybe I m just damaged goods
And, baby, you re a babe in the woods
And me, I m just a little lost lamb
But you love me wherever I am
And maybe I ve been caught red handed
Making off like a lucky bandit
And this wasn t how I planned it

Maybe this time I could stay
And let myself get carried away
Maybe this time it s too late
We could make a move or we could wait
Maybe she will understand
And not expect too much from one man
Maybe she can
Or maybe she can t

Maybe when I ve changed my tune
I ll come out of my solitude
And start to live my life anew
And spend the rest of my days pleasing you
And on the path to righteousness
I ll swept the dust
Whatever it takes to gain your trust
I ll do what I must
I ll do what I must (I ll do what I must)
I ll do what I must (I ll do what I must)
I ll do what I must

Maybe I m just damaged goods
And, baby, you re a babe in the woods
And me, I m just a little lost lamb
But you love me wherever I am
And maybe I ve been caught red handed
Making off like a lucky bandit
And now I walk this planet

Forever it s a joke, the alternative to love
Forever it s a joke, the alternative to love
