Alternative to Love  -  Brendan Benson


 Brendan Benson

Maybe if I lay real still
It will go away maybe it will
Maybe this I wont budge
Maybe I just need a little nudge

Maybe this time I wont flinch
Maybe this time it might be a sinch
Maybe this time I wont run
Maybe Ill own up to what Ive done

What have I done
What have I done

Maybe Im just damaged goods

And baby youre a babe in the woods
And me Im just a little lost lamb
But you love me wherever I am
And maybe Ive been caught red handed

Making off like a lucky bandit
And this wasnt how I planned it

Maybe this time I could stay

And let myself get carried away
Maybe this time its 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 cant


Maybe when Ive changed my tune
Ill 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
Ill swept the dust
Whatever it takes to gain your trust
Ill do what I must

Ill do what I must Ill do what I must
Ill do what I must Ill do what I must
Ill do what I must


Maybe Im just damaged goods
And baby youre a babe in the woods
And me Im just a little lost lamb
But you love me wherever I am

And maybe Ive been caught red handed
Making off like a lucky bandit
And now I walk this planet


Forever its a joke the alternative to love
Forever its a joke the alternative to love
