Instead

Now, do you ever find yourself wanting?
When you just do not know what you want.
Well then you might fancy this song that I sing,
Thought I may try to sound nonchalant
Cause I just never could know that lady
I couldn’t get into her head,
And I never could tell her I loved her so,
I just made her laugh instead.

She was everything I’d always wanted
And much more than I thought I could get
The warmth of her charms, rose the hair on my arms
And her mouth was sweeet and wet
But I just never really could know her
I couldn’t get into her head
And I never could tell her I loved her so
I just made her smile instead.

You know, it’s so hard to keep it together
And, you must seek to find, I’ve been told,
If you don’t do a little bit of gold mining,
you sure ain't going to find any gold.
And I just never could know that lady
I couldn’t get into her head
And I never could tell her I loved her, so
I just said goodbye instead.
I just said goodbye instead.
