Brendan Benson Alternative To Love Lyrics

Alternative To Love Lyrics

Maybe if I lay real still

It will go away, maybe it will

Maybe this I won't budge

Maybe I just need a little nudge

Maybe this time I won't flinch

Maybe this time it might be a sinch

Maybe this time I won't run

Maybe I'll own up to what I've done

What have I done?

What have I done?



Maybe I'm just damaged goods

And, baby, you're a babe in the woods

And me, I'm just a little lost lamb

But you love me wherever I am

And maybe I've been caught red handed

Making off like a lucky bandit

And this wasn't how I planned it



Maybe this time I could stay

And let myself get carried away

Maybe this time it's 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 can't



Maybe when I've changed my tune

I'll 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

I'll swept the dust

Whatever it takes to gain your trust

I'll do what I must

I'll do what I must (I'll do what I must)

I'll do what I must (I'll do what I must)

I'll do what I must



Maybe I'm just damaged goods

And, baby, you're a babe in the woods

And me, I'm just a little lost lamb

But you love me wherever I am

And maybe I've been caught red handed

Making off like a lucky bandit

And now I walk this planet



Forever it's a joke, the alternative to love
