LAYAWAY (Mike Gibbins)
[from Young Savage Florida CD - recorded 1996 - released U.S. 1996]

Sometimes I hear you callin'
 Sometimes I feel your pain
I never heard you call 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 feel 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

Sometimes I hear you callin'
Sometimes I feel your pain
I never heard you call 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 feel 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 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

Sometimes I hear you callin'
Sometimes I feel your pain
I never heard you call 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 they say or do
You will always be my Baby Blue
Sometimes I feel 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

Sometimes I hear you callin'
Sometimes I feel your pain
I never heard you call out my name
But just the same

You never gave us no warning
Still, it's a crying shame
That you would choose to end it this way
What can I say?

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
