Where I Belong

So hard to know the reasons
It's hard to know the truth
When it's all over
Every time I look back
I just get more confused
So I replay every kiss and
Every clue I might have missed
Didn't I make you happy?
Didn't I get inside your heart?
Didn't I make you love me?
Didn't I, didn't I now baby
I turn my world upside down
I turned myself inside out
But I still lost you
Didn't I didn't I
Why do I keep believing?
What am I hoping for?
Why can't I let you go?
I did all I could do
Why do I think there's something more?
I just don't understand
How love slipped right through our hands
Didn't I make you happy?
Didn't I get inside your heart?
Didn't I make you love me?
Didn't I, didn't I now baby
I turn my world upside down
I turned myself inside out
But I still lost you
Didn't I
Why do I think the fault is mine?
Was it me at the wrong time?
Maybe I could move on
If I knew the reason why
I turned my world upside down
I turned myself inside out
And I still lost you
Didn't I, didn't I

She gets in from work, takes off her coat
Sits down hard and lights a smoke, slips off her shoes
She's thinking just how'd nice it be
To have someone to rub her feet, and just to talk to
And mama, she don't understand, why she can't seem to find a man
She says, "Are you even tryin'?"
Oh but it's true what they say about good men,
They're either gay, married or just want to be friends
Makes a girl feel like cryin'
Jaded, tried and sick of the whole damn thing
It just seems cruel to think that she might be
So close
Just three doors down and one floor up,
He pours some wine in a coffee cup, turns the TV on
He tells himself it could be worse,
He's got his friends and he's got his work,
It ain't so bad alone.
When his younger brothers done got kids, a dog, a cat and a privacy fence,
And a pretty wife, a bed to match his sheets
And the kids call him uncle and he's glad they do,
But he always hurts a little bit too,
'Cause lately, he's afraid that's all he's ever gonna be
Jaded, tried and sick of the whole damn thing
It just seems cruel to think that he might be
So close
The elevator stops, they both get on,
She fumbles in her purse, he's on the phone,
And their eyes never even meet
And it's sad to think they look so hard,
And it's all right there in that elevator car,
Hmm, the irony, So Close
Yeah, yeah
So Close
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
So Close

Imitation leather, Pink Naugahyde,
Two Inch tear down the left-hand side,
Came from my daddy's pocketknife,
That wasn't my fault
Moved along with us everywhere we went,
No matter where we lived it always fit in,
Kinda like our next of kin,
If that chair could talk
My little brother, Billy, broke his left hand
Jumpin' off the arm like superman
With my grandma's old red afghan tied around his neck
It's where at least a thousand books were read,
Our Siamese cat made her bed
It ever heard "And I thee wed"
When sister married in the living room
To that Phillips boy from just down the block
If that chair could talk
Mama bought it in a yard sale in '65
It was daddy's favorite chair after he retired
Survived all of that and a kitched fire,
Smoke stains wiped right off
It's where I spent a million hours talking on the phone
It was my favorite place to polish my toes
Something Mama didn't know,
If that chair could talk
From Leave it to Beaver to the Brady Bunch
Chicken Noodle Soup and Captain Crunch
TV Dinners to Sunday lunch, and movies late at night
Brother tippin' me backwards until I screamed
He'd get in trouble for bein' so mean
And when he told Mama that he'd joined the Marines
It's where she sat down in shock
The good, the bad, it's seen it all
If that chair could talk
It caught my tears,
Head me up when I felt bad,
It called my fears,
It's good to keep a friend like that.
It hid the ice cream money for hot summer days,
Listened while I practed for my high school play,
And all the times it heard me pray,
When things were going rough.
And it's where Bobby Baker gave me my first kiss,
Mama came in and nearly had a fit,
There's footprints of my life all over it,
We've been through a lot.
The good, the bad, it's seen it all,
If that chair could talk.
Imitation leather, pink Naugahyde
Two inch tear down the left-hand side

There's two trees in Becky Hill's front yard,
One big, and one small
That big oak's been there for ages
And they planted that willow last fall

He bought it for their anniversary,
So they could watch it grow like their love
Well each day she looks out the window,
To see it not growing that much.

And she cries like that weeping willow,
Every time the wind starts to blow
One of these days she's gonna be strong,
Strong like the oak.

Now she hates the thought of leaving,
She hates to stay,
But somewhere in her heart she still needs him,
But not as much as she did yesterday.

And she cries like that weeping willow,
Every time the wind starts to blow
One of these days she's gonna be strong,
Strong like the oak.

She'll walk out that screen door and hold her hand high,
Won't look back, won't shed a tear
Right now she's afraid of being alone,
Oh, but she's been alone for years

She cries like that weeping willow,
Every time the wind starts to blow
One of these days, she's gonna be strong,
Strong like the oak.

Yeah one of these days, she's gonna be strong,
Strong as an oak

I'm Putting on your favorite dress
You know the one you love that really shows off my legs
Gonna march downtown right into your favorite place
And that little blonde, well she better not get in my way
'Cause I'm on a mission

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna get you back
It won't take long
It'll happen fast
You might as well face the fact
I'm gonna get you back
It's kinda crowded in here tonight
You've got yourself surrounded by every pretty girl in sight
But that ain't gonna stop me my time is comin' round
You'll wonder what just hit you when it all goes down
I can't wait to see your face

[Chorus]
Over at the bar, hey there's your best friend
Think I'll just sneak over and ask him how he's been
I'm thinkin' he's always liked me anyway

[Chorus]
I'm gonna get you back
Yeah, I'm gonna get you back
