I Beg Your Pardon (radio mix)

Here we go
There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something going and to my dismay
Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where
And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say
I bring up a topic and you push it away
You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care
Why do I feel you're using me?
Are we an item or are we just two?
I need some commitments, all I ask of you
Your life's stock can change
Don't be afraid what you think' in store
I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose
Your shallow acquaintance's what's there to choose
You won't get too deep even though I'm worth so much more
So think about it carefully
Smile for the while and let's be jolly
We shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share
The good times while we can
Leo's got a hair set
Leo's got a flat top
Leo's got a hair set
Leo's got a flat top
If that's how you want it that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying or making you see
That love don't come easy
You don't know what it's about
To get things together won't take any pain
Don't need to see, hear from you ever again
From this day on listen but no more
Please count me out and you know what I'm talkin' about
Smile for the while and let's be jolly
We shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share
The good times while we can
I know now's the time
That I went to find something new
You know it's your crime
That I'm out to find someone too
