A Lot of Nights


(Paul Foglino)

There will always be someone to tell you what to do
And there will be someone to see you try and laugh at you
Now I'm too dumb to get right
But I'm dumb enough to try tonight
And I'm sure there'll be someone out there laughing at me too


CHORUS

I sure have spent a lot of nights in worse ways than this
I sure have spent a lot of nights in worse ways than this
But you know that don't mean I'm having a good time tonight


You can be a kid in Sunday clothes
Trying way to hard to strike a natural pose
Or a singer where he don't belong
Trying to hide behind a song
And he's not even sure if he remembers how it goes


CHORUS

You can stir your coffee with your thumb
You can beat on a saxophone you can blow into a drum
It's easy to find rules to break
There's so many mistakes to make
And I'll just stay right here till I've made every single one


CHORUS
