Struggling with Political? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
I was tired of being put right down By myself for not being what you Thought you had found Pulled hard in two directions by a Desire to learn And my old affections When I tried to share my world with you You could not seem to tolerate The people I had grown to love They shrank under your scrutiny, Became the ones you'd hate Why did everything, every little thing Every little thing With you and me have to be so political? Everything, every little thing Every little thing With you and me have to be so political? I was feeling a little underwhelmed About hanging around with you and Feeling over cautious Every word, every little look, every little sigh Every little phrase Put me deeper in your doghouse You'd let me out to run across your world I ran into a wall you told me I built it Then you'd reel me in, ream me out, pick me up Push me out again And then repeat it Why did everything, every little thing Every little thing With you and me have to be so political? Everything, every little thing Every little thing With you and me have to be so political? Everything, everything with you and me was Too busy tripping on my tongue To try and stand my ground And I can still see myself crying in your lap Asking you, are you happy with the man you have found? I'm grateful for what you did for me I can see things now I never would have seen And today I thought about what could have been But could never be for you and me 'Cause everything, every little thing Every little thing With you and me had to be so political Everything, every little thing Every little thing With you and me have to be so political? Everything, everything With you and me was so political Oh political
