John Wesley Harding - The Person You Are Lyrics
I put my forehead to the doorAnd I heard the famous sound of infidelityLooks like I loved and lost once more,Oh, but alls fair in love and war supposedlyI couldnt even burst in on youSee scrabbling sheets hear your excuseGive you the evil eye or verbal abuseWhy do you do what you doWhen the things that you do hurt the person you areWhy do you do what you doWhen the things that you do hurt the person you areI slam my glass down on the barAnd my problems they hit the floor so gracefullyI dont know where I parked the carBut thats ok, tonight Im on the town without meTonight its just me and my evil twinThe one who slips one more drink inThe one who slips away, when I start sinkingWhy do you do what you doWhen the things that you do hurt the person you areWhy do you do what you doWhen the things that you do hurt theperson you areThe person you areI got a job to pay the rentPut people out of work by repositioningNow no-ones sitting on the fenceWhose garden will we end up sitting in?Its getting much too hot to heal the skyAnd it hurts too much to open up our eyesTo fundamental truths that we hold as liesWhy do we do what we doWhen the things that we do hurt the people we are?Why do you do what you doWhen the things that you do hurt the person you are?The person you areThe person you areThe person.
