Why Must I Plead Lyrics

Why Must I Plead lyrics

All your bitterness and lies sting like tears in my eyes

And a thousand lovesick tunes

Won't wash away the wounds from my mind



You've been seen around, you're a new sensation

You got a better deal and you took his invitation

You've been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation



Oh but mercy, we used to love all day and drive all night

Oh mercy, jealousy used to whet your appetite

Oh mercy, we were low as dogs and high as kites



Why must I plead with you darling

Why must I plead with you darling

Why must I plead with you darling for what's already mine



My friends are indiscreet and I sing myself to sleep

I don't mind the red wine

Or the pickup line as long as it's cheap



Well, I ask you what's wrong and you say I'm all yours

I ask you who your friend is and you say it's Santa Clause

I ask you to come home, you say you're tired of being indoors



Oh but mercy, you know you signed on that dotted line

Oh mercy, well you signed yours and I signed mine

Oh mercy, you said forever till the end of time



Why must I plead with you darling

Why must I plead with you darling

Why must I plead with you darling for what's already mine



I said, why must I plead with you darling for what's already mine
