Big Sugar - Cop a Plea lyrics

(G. Johnson/P. Ballantyne)

Ever since you left

Ever since the fallout

I've been stuck in here

Seeking some relief

Thought I'd take a chance

Thought I'd send a call out

Not that you would care

But, you see

Now I sit around fillin' the blank time

Now I sit around

Heartaches comin' on the inside

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Mistakes burnin' in my mind

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Being on my own

Was never my intention

How do things like this

Seem to happen to me?

Was it something that I said?

"Oh, forgot to mention..."

Given half a chance

to make amends

Heartaches comin' on the inside

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Mistakes burnin' in my mind

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Five days - feels like a lifetime

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

I am a simple man

Lookin' for a handout

How can you just sit

While I cop a plea

I had things in mind

But they never panned out

Not that you would care

But, you see

Now I sit around fillin' the blank time

Now I sit around fillin' the blank time

Now I sit around

Heartaches comin' on the inside

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Mistakes burnin' in my mind

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Hard day - well it feels like a lifetime

Can't wait for the flag to fall

You really should get over here

Heartaches tearin' on the inside

Can't wait for the flag to fall
