Too much to say for one rainy day
So I’ll take the first bus to Boston just to get away
I know I can’t hide from the love inside
But I can hide from you so I’ll never have to lie
'Cause there’s got to be a better way to say what I need to say
But the battle’s been lost so I guess I’m on my way
{chorus}
I can tell you no lies
So I must walk in disguise
Although I know love comes and goes
I still try
How can a man be so alone
When he’s got so many numbers on his telephone?
So many people to talk to but nothing to say
I guess I’ll let this dirty water take me away
'Cause there’s got to be a better place, there’s got to be a better taste
To get rid of all this bitterness
{chorus}
{chorus}
