I Keep Thinking To Myself - Brook Benton

I keep thinking to myself

Thinking what will I have left if you don’t come home?

If I thought that it would help

I would tell you how I felt or try to telephone

'Cause old winter’s coming soon

It’s getting chilly in this room, girl I miss you

I miss the warmth you used to give

And I need that warmth to live, girl I need you

And I keep thinking what I’ll do

Doing nothing without you, like I’ve always done

Since the time I realized you knew about my other lives, though it was all in

fun

Now I’d accept you as you are

For me that’s going pretty far against the rule

That says a wife can never fall, or even feel some things at all

Well I’ve been fooled

And I keep thinking to myself

We could’ve had something left if I had only said

Well girl I’ve had my moments too

And I’ve been foolish just like you, yes I’ve lost my head

But I gave you no sign at all

I build me up and let you fall, now you’re gone

We can’t back up and start again

'Cause I’m locked out and you’re locked in, and we’re both alone

No we can’t back up and start again

'Cause I’m locked out and you’re locked in, and we’re both alone

Now we can’t back up and start again 'cause I’m locked out and you’re locked in,

and we’re both alone
