Perpetual Blues Machine Lyrics

You had style, you had class

you had everything to make a love last

you had grace, you had charm

you had me hanging on your arm

when
i found out you were a fake

you ran up and bit me like a snake

and i
was ready to let go

and let all my feelings show



Chorus

Tell me why you wanna be so cold

why you wanna be so mean

you've
gone and let your true colors show

you're a perpetual blues machine



We could've been just fine

if you had only ben all mine

'cause i was for real, but you did not know

that you were steppin' on
my heart

as you were walking out the door

but now i know who you
are

and it's a damn good thing we didn't get too far

'cause i'm not
the one that's right for you

you need a man to do your rolling

like
you want him to do



Chorus

Tell me why you wanna be so
cold

why you wanna be so mean

you've gone and let your true colors
show

you're a perpetual blues machine



Now you've gone, and
I'm glad

that we didn't let it get to bad

you know i tried to make
it go

but there was just no way to tell you so



Chorus

Tell me why you wanna be so cold

why you wanna be so mean

you've
gone and let your true colors show

you're a perpetual blues machine
