Too Tired

Mary Chapin Carpenter · State of the Heart [1989]

Too tired to fight so I just gave in

Last night I slept in your arms again

And I felt my heart next to your skin, beatin like crazy

Been running from something I can't explain

Ain't just anger, it ain't just pain

But it goes away when you call my name, callin me baby

But you ain't no good for a girl like me



Well I was doing fine when I first met you

Swept me off my feet next thing I knew

I was wondering where you'd gone off to, leavin me lonely

This town's too small for your kind of games

Pointing fingers, naming names

But I'm so far gone once again ?, that you can give me

Still you ain't no good for a girl like me



Last night I felt that I couldn't stand no more

But I felt myself standing right here by your door

Too tired to care that you're bad for me

My heart says stay but my head says leave

But I can't get far when I'm on my knees, beggin ya baby

You ain't no good for a girl like me



Last night I felt that I couldn't stand no more

But I felt myself standing right here by your door

Too tired to fight so I just gave in

Last night I slept in your arms again

And I felt my heart next to your skin

Beatin like crazy, beatin like crazy, beatin like crazy
