John Mellencamp Sometimes A Great Notion Lyrics

Sometimes A Great Notion Lyrics

Never give an inch, that's what I say, son.

When it's too tough for
everybody else,

Hell, it's just right for me.

Now, my lips are
bleeding

From the selfish things that I've done,

And my heart it lies
at the bottom of the ocean.

Sometimes a great notion...



Wanted to
make love to my girl

In the backseat of my car.

So, I took her to the
drive-in picture show.

So, I filled her up with

Lies and a strong love
potion

And I'm sittin' here watching the movie alone.

Sometimes a great
notion...



Sometimes the best plans

Have been known to go
astray.

So, you better put your seatbelt on.

Just like your worst
headache,

Well, a bad day don't go away.

And, you hit the ground
running against your emotions.

Sometimes a great notion...

Sometimes a
great notion...
