Whips and Predicaments

lyrics

WHIPS AND PREDICAMENTS

I’ve got to hand it to you
You’re the first to play me for a fool
It’s not a role I’ve rehearsed,
But you took me to school

Now I’m runnin’ around,
Baby, I’m the talk of the town
So I’m singing the blues
There’s been no one else
To fill your shoes

Now it’s all making sense
There’s no past, no future
There’s only the present tense

No matter which way
Love will always lead to
Whips and predicaments

You’re a pie in the sky
I’m a butterfly
Yes, it’s a dangerous brew
But we do it again and again
It’s a catch 22

Now, I don’t need a friend
It’s brutal but true
We started as lovers
Lost under the covers
It’s how it will end

Now it’s all making sense
There’s no past, no future
There’s only the present tense

No matter which way
Love will always lead to
Whips and predicaments
