It's not open to discussion anymore
She's out again tonight, and I'm alone once more.
She's all I have worth waiting for
But baby plays around.

And so it seems I've always been the last to know
To hold on to that girl I had to let her go
I wish to god I didn't love her so
But baby plays around

I try to be strong, hold on to my pride
She doesn't even know she's wrong how much i hurt inside
And heaven knows I've tried
But baby plays around - just a plaything
It's hard to reconcile the facts I'm facing

It's not open to discussion any more
She walks those shiny streets, I walk the worn out floor
She's all I have worth living for
But baby plays around.

-Elvis Costello

AND

Wierd nightmare, Why must you torment me? Wierd nightmare, pain and misery. Can it be that you're a part of a lonely borken heart?

Can't sleep at night, twist turn in fright For a fear that I'll live it all again in my dreams ...

from Charles Mingus' "Wierd Nightmare"

AND

Joni Mitchell:"Oh I could drink a case of you and still be on my feet".

AND

Ray Davies: "I wish today could be tomorrow. The night is dark, it just brings sorrow, Let it wait ..."

AND

Everything But the Girl: "I'll sings songs to my father, I'll sing songs to my child, It's time to hold your loved ones while the chains are loose And the world runs wild ..."

AND

Mose Allison: "I don't worry 'bout a thing Coz I know nothing's gonna turn out right".

and a million others!
