Monkees - Nine Times Blue lyrics

by Michael Nesmith

There's a certain something in the way

You looked at me and said you'd stay

That let me know that I was out of line,

But I didn't know what else to do,

And like a fool, I tested you,

By demanding things of you which weren't mine.

And now I feel like such a fool

For making you crawl back to me,

But you did it with such love,

That you're standing far above

Me and all I did to you,

I'm sorry now, what can I do?

I know that never in the world,

Could I have found me such a girl,

Who's there to pick me up before I fall,

And if, in the end, we should go

Both our separate ways, I know

The lesson I've learned here is worth it all.

And now I feel like such a fool

For making you crawl back to me,

But you did it with such love

That you're standing far above

Me and all I did to you,

I'm sorry now, what can I do?

I know that never in the world,

Could I have found me such a girl,

Who's there to pick me up before I fall,

And if, in the end, we should go

Both our separate ways, I know

The lesson I've learned here is worth it all.
