SOMETHINGS ARE BEST LEFT UNSAID (Cooper/Jones)

Some days are better than others
Some days life just gets you down
You want to stay under the covers
Don’t want nobody around
But the doorbell or the phone rings
And you think “Oh no, what now?”
Don’t let your reactive shortcomings
Turn into an almighty row

Some things are best left unsaid
Some things are best left unsung
Sometimes it’s best to keep in your head
What’s on the tip of your tongue

Some songs, they come in a moment
Some songs, they take quite a while
Inspired by pleasure or torment
Or sympathy, sadness or bile
You want to convey your emotions
To a person who knows you so well
But best to resist crazy notions
And whisper them softly, not yell

Some things are best left unsaid
Some things are best left unsung
Sometimes it’s best to keep in your head
What’s on the tip of your tongue

There are so many points on the compass
To express every feeling within
Without causing a ruction or rumpus
Unless of course, you don’t want to rein it in

Some things are best left unsaid
Some things are best left unsung
Sometimes it’s best to keep in your head
What’s on the tip of your tongue
Some things are best left unsaid
Some things are best left unsung

Some Things Are Best Left Unsaid
