How Come You're Not Dead Yet? - Joey Tempest

I throught I’d sit right down

And write this song for you

I think you never understood my point of view

You came into my life, a smell of summer wine

Poisoned up my blood and left me behind

Mysterious, you were so unpredictable

Charming ways were always so believable

Circumstances made it all come shining through

To tell the truth was not what you intended to

You could not live without me you said

So baby, how come youre not dead yet?

Everything you said to me about being true

Now I realize that words don’t mean that much to you

I can’t believe you wasted all this time on me

Showered me with promises and poetry

You could not live without me you said

So baby, how come you’re not dead yet?

People come and people go

We hurt each other

This I know

But it’s not that simple

When the hour is late

Baby don’t go

I see you walking by but I don’t feel a thing

Funny how I thought that we were everyghing

Someone else will now be falling for that smile

I’m proud to say that I’m no longer worth your while

You could not live without me you said

You could not live without me you said

But baby, how come you’re not dead yet?
