Shoes For Paul – What You Are lyrics

Bliss breaks, alarm it screams
Coffee burns your tongue and you lost your keys
The car starts but traffic's insane
You finally park and it starts to rain
Shoulder's back, act in control
Never let 'em know life's taken its toll
Try your best, do what you must
Believe all you want but there's nothing to trust
But then you know it'll be okay
Because the woman of your dreams just looked your way
You start talking, you take her hand
You can't stop smiling then you meet her man
That's just what you are
That's just what you are
So don't be any less
Get home, turn on the light
The bulb burns out like you figured it might
Friends are busy, hang up the phone
You've gotta do something so you go out alone
You've looked better, couldn't care less
Clothes are getting worn and your hair is a mess
Ending up in a popular bar
See a pretty face that knows who you are
"Hey, Jenny. How have you been?
It's really such a shame you lost your boyfriend"
She said, "Forget that unstable jerk.
Oh, you're such a nice guy, but it would never work"
That's just what you are
That's just what you are
So don't be any less
That's just what you are
That's just what you are
That's just what you are
That's just what you are
So don't be any less
