Chris Brubeck - In the Lurch Lyrics

In the lurch Caught in the lurch
Caught standing in the shadows of the church For him I search
Just like a lovebird pining on his perch Too late
Where's my mate That's fate
Must I always Wait Weight is on my mind, He's so blind

So now I will reverse Love never pays
That old cliché, this girl intends to make To coin a phrase
The Piper Pay He'll stray
It's touche Don't stay
If he's gonna play Play it all the line
I resign.
I think I've waited long enough for
Him to come Gee, I want some
Some guy somewhere will want some One I can flaunt, just one
One to love as I love Him Not inspired, I'm too tired
Tired of sitting on a Limb Limbo lost, the Devil''s fired

Though I'm burned He's not so hot
I'll chalk it up to one more lesson learned I've learned a lot
And wonder why my heart can't
Be returned I've yearned
I might need it some Day Day by day I've been spurned

If he would only try to get us out of here Hear me talkin' home
Home is where we ought to be Be so kind and let me go
Go ahead and run their land That's a laugh and a half
They can't even run the band Band together and show them
Who we are It serves them right
Let's go and tell them that they've
Gone to far Let's start a fight
They'd better find themselves another star Tonight
I won't stay one more day We won't stay one more day.
