Steve Earle - I Thought You Should Know lyrics

I been watchin' you watchin' me I could feel your eyes from way across the room But now that I'm holdin' you close I can see Ain't no way I'm gonna get around you I won't tell you I don't need you tonight I won't pretend I ain't burnin' inside Your skin glowin' soft in the silver moonlight The shadows where the promises hide The bittersweet taste of your kiss It's all more than I can resist If you're thinkin' 'bout breakin' my heart You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go Somebody else already tore it apart And I thought you should know Maybe this is all that you want Maybe you're just as lonesome as me A shoulder that you can cry on A warm safe place you can be Someone to call in the middle of the night When the ghosts in your bedroom won't rest Two arms to hold you tight I promise that I'll do my best To give you everything I got to give And keep your secrets for as long as I live
