LAYAWAY [remake] (Mike Gibbins)
Sometimes I hear you calling
Sometimes I feel your pain
I never heard you called out my name, but just the same
You never gave me no warning
Still it's a cryin' shame
That you would choose to end it this way
What can I say?
No matter what they say or do
You will always be my Baby Blue
Sometimes I fear I have fallen from grace since you went away
Said you didn't really want my love
Didn't really want my love
Didn't really want my love
Still I would be there
Yes, I would be there
You put it in layaway
You couldn't wait another day
You put this monkey on my back
You put it in layaway
You couldn't live another day
You put this monkey on my back
REPEAT VERSE 1
You never gave us no warning
Still it's a cryin' shame
That you would choose to end it this way
What can I say?
REPEAT VERSE 3
Said you didn't really want my love
Didn't really want my love
Didn't really want my love
Still I would be there, yes, I would be there
You put it in layaway
You couldn't live another day
You put this monkey on my back
You put it in layaway
You couldn't live another day
You put this monkey on my back
You put it in layaway
You couldn't live another day
You put this monkey on my back
You put it in layaway
You couldn't wait another day
You put this monkey on my back.

Sometimes I hear you calling
Sometimes I feel your pain
I never heard you called out my name, but just the same
You never gave me no warning
Still it's a crying shame
That you would choose to end it this way
What can I say?
No matter what you say or do
You will always be my Baby Blue
Sometimes I fear I have fallen from grace since you went away
Said you didn't really want my love
Said you didn't really want my love
Said you didn't really want my love
Still I would be there
Yes, I would be there
So put it in layaway, they keep it for you night and day
But keep this monkey off of my back
Put it in layaway, play a little every day
Let's keep some money in the bank
REPEAT VERSE 1
REPEAT VERSE 2
REPEAT VERSE 3
Said you didn't really want my love
Said you didn't really want my love
Said you didn't really want my love
Still I would be there
Yes, I would be there
So put it in layaway, they keep it for you night and day
But take this monkey off of my back
Put it in layaway, and play a little every day
Let's keep some money in the bank
Put it in layaway, play a little every day
Let's keep some money in the bank
Put it in layaway, they keep it for you night and day
Let's keep the money clinking back.
