lyrics

sure enough

I sing my heart out
I sing this simple song
out here on the west coast
I don't know what's going on
I don't feel so pretty, no
just lonely and holding on

sure enough
sure enough
I got more than I bargained for
sure enough
sure enough
I should have known what was in store

they make me cry
they make me cry for so long
now that they've got me
I sing this simple song

they know what I need
they know to deny
they know the reason why
God help me, godspeed

sure enough
sure enough
I got more than I bargained for
sure enough
sure enough
I should have known what was in store

light, oh light
light in my eyes
I can't see you
I can't feel you
how'd you get so wise?
it seems like I've been
a fall guy for you
crashing baby down below
a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-high

oh genius works in strange ways
I think you know that by now
so get those lips ready to pucker-pucker
gonna kiss you off right now

sure enough
sure enough
I got more than I bargained for
sure enough
sure enough
I should have known what was in store

I'm making it and breaking it too
so get out of my way
I check my aim
I know what's in store
I go so crazy today
go crazy like I'm living in lie
I bought a postcard
I got robbed
strap me down while I'm still living baby
they push while you pull

sure enough
sure enough
I got more than I bargained for
sure enough
sure enough
I should have known what was in store

I had the bull by the horns
I had the world by its tail
but the tide has turned
I should have learned
now I just sit here and wail...
