Sinkin' -- 3 variations

Saturn Medley 3

Sinkin' 

I thought that I was funny – no one got the joke,
I thought that I was wise but they laughed each time I spoke,
I thought I was an angel but I didn’t have the wings,
Now I’m wondering if I’m anything.
 
I tell you what I’m thinkin' –
If I stay here on the floor
Maybe I’ll just keep on sinkin' 
Till you can’t see me anymore.

Once, life was sweet, then it turned bad,
I battled with my demons; that just made 'em mad.
Now, I'm tired and I'm scared,
All my fancy dreamin' got me nowhere.

Well, I tell you what I’m thinkin' –
If I stay here on the floor
Maybe I’ll just keep on sinkin' 
Till you can’t see me anymore.

I was trying to believe, trying to be good,
I was trying to do the things I knew I should,
I was praying to God, day and night,
Lying in the darkness, looking for a light.

Well, I tell you what I’m thinkin' – 
If I stay here on the floor
Maybe I’ll just keep on sinkin' 
Till you can’t see me anymore.

I don't want your roses in the morning,
Roses won't undo the things you said,
Don't go wasting money 
On roses for this honey;
Give them to some other girl instead.
 
I don't want a heart-shaped box of chocolates;
They always leave a bitter taste.			
I don't want to hear 
You say, “I'm sorry, dear.”
I don't want to see your sorry face.

	Every time I forgave you		 
	You said you would be a better man.
	Every time, I believed you;		
	O, what a fool I am. 

I don't want your roses in the morning;
A million roses couldn't make me stay.
Don't apologize, 
I'm tired of your lies,
And I never did like roses anyway.

A Mother's Love (lyics by Gloria Ellis & music by Gloria Ellis and Jaimelyn Thibeault)

I've spent my life being not good enough
I've spent my days looking for love
I've learned lots of things that I never knew
Like the love that was missing was missing from you

Why don't you love me
The way you should do
Why don't you love me
Like other folks do
I just get tired of it all being wrong
Why don't you love me
Why don't I belong

You accuse me of things that I never did
Though I might as well have for the mercy I get
Everything good becomes something bad
Where is the love that I never had
Why don't you love me
Why don't I belong
