Waiting For That Day

So every day I see you in some other face

They crack a smile, talk a while, and try to take your place

My memory (my memory) serves me far too well



I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself

You're a fool boy, why don't you go down find somebody

Find somebody else

My memory (my meory) serves me far too well



It's not as though we just broke up

It's not as though it was yesterday

But something I just can't explain

Something in me needs this pain

I know I'll never see your face again



C'mon now, I've got to be strong now



Now everybody's talking about this new decade

Like you say the magic numbers

Then just say goodbye to the stupid mistakes you made

Oh, my memory (oh, my memory) serves me far too well



Don't you know that the years will come and go

Some of us will change our lives

Some of us still have nothing to show

Nothing baby (nothing baby) but memories (but memories)



And if these wounds, they are self inflicted

I don't really know

How my poor heart could have protected me

But if I have to carry this pain, if you will not share the blame

I deserve to see your face again



C'mon now, you don't have to be so strong now

Come back, come back, come back....



Come back to me darling, I will make it worth your while

Come on back to your baby

I miss your kiss, I miss your smile



Seems to me the peace I search to find

Ain't gonna be mine until you say you will

Don't you keep me waiting for that day

I know, I know, I know you hear these words that I say

I know, I know, I know....



You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

You can't always get what you want

Come back, come back, come back....
