Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel like a boy with a problem
I can't believe what we've forgotten
And I even slapped your face and made you cry
[Verse 2]
It's the last thing I want to do
Pull the curtains on me and you
Pull the carpet from under love
Pull out like young lovers do
[Verse 3]
You swore you wouldn't shout
If it's not your punch then it's your pout
Days in silence try my temper
Nights spent drinking to remember
How memories are always tender
[Verse 4]
I crept out last night behind your back
The little they know might be the piece I lack
Came home drunk, talkin' in circles
The spirit is willing, but I don't believe in miracles
I've got a problem, but let's go to bed
I can roll over and I can play dead
But here I am in the doghouse instead
[Verse 5]
I feel like a boy with a problem
I can't believe all you've forgotten
Sleeping with forgiveness in your heart for me
Written by: Chris Difford, Elvis Costello
