I Just Can't Go On Dying Like This

I'm driving in my car alone

You called me on the telephone

How many times will it take till I'm convinced

That you're using me, I'm just a used-to-be

It's a lie, I know it's a lie

But I just can't go on dying like this



Can I see you tonight,

Baby I'll act just like you want me to

Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?

I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer

I'm just a fool I guess

But I just can't go on dying like this



--- Instrumental ---



Here I am again, it's 4 a.m.

I think I'll play that song again

The one called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

And I'll wonder where you are tonight

I don't know, I just don't know

But, I just can't go on dying like this



Can I see you tonight,

Baby, I'll act just like you want me to

Or is that just exactly what I'm not supposed to do?

I'll just stop in here, have a glass of beer

I'm just a fool I guess

But I just can't go on dying like this



Lord, knows I just can't go on dying like this...
