"Walking blues lost love song – acoustic guitar"

Time is up now, I been runnin' too long
This feelin' is way too strong, why's it always gotta be so sad?
Hate to say it, hardest trouble I ever had
Been too long now, you worry me, you're somewhere out on a mission
Wishin' you were here in bed, ‘stead of racin' ‘round inside my head
Hate to say it, hard trouble, like I said
And I love you, I can't get through, when you’re out on the street in your walkin' shoe
A waste of time & that’s the crime, ought to be a law, could be droppin’ a dime
'Stead of meetin' up now, we're beaten up now, what a pisser, right in the kisser
Time is up now, I been runnin' too long
Now what'd I do wrong? Why's it always gotta hurt so bad?
Hate to say it, hardest lovin’ I ever had
And I love you, least I think I do, you hear what I'm sayin'? You think so too?
You might as well, what the hell? Tell me you love me, you never can tell
You’re out of my bed & I’m out of my head, we’re sittin' purty, down & dirty
And I love you, je t'aime beaucoup, sayin’ s’il vous plait, like you like me to
But you gotta confess, more or less, makin' love is mainly makin' a mess
We’re just makin' do & fakin' it too, we're outclassed, half-assed
Time is up now, bed bugs bite
Time to call it a night, why's it always gotta be a fight?
Rather mend it, defend it, don’t wanna end it, but I might …
Cause I been runnin' too long, mmm-mmm-hmmm, babe, I been runnin' too long
I been runnin' too long
