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

I thought 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, oh no

You could not live without me, you said

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

Oh oh oh

Well, 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?

Oh, yeah, yeah

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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooooh

I see you walking by, but I don't feel a thing

Funny, how I thought that we were everything

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

(Could not live without me you said)

No, you could not live without me, you said

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

Oh...

Could not live without me, you said

Yeah, yeah

Could not live without me, without me, without me,

without me, without me, without me, without me

Oh oh, without me
