Someday
Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]
She looked me in the eye and said, ''It's over
I can't take this heartache anymore.''
She said, ''Don't tell me lies and try to please me
I've heard it all so many times before.
And I took her by the arm and said, ''Don't leave me
There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do
Just give me time I'll be the man you've needed.''
She said, ''I wish that I could take that for the truth.''
And I said, ''someday
I'll get my life straight.''
And she said, ''It's too late
What's done is done.''
And I told her, ''Someday.''
She said, ''I can't wait
'Cause sometimes someday just never comes.''
She said, ''All I've ever wanted was to love you
And somewhere deep inside me I still do
But now I think it's time I stopped believin'
'Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you.''
And I said, ''Someday
I'll get my life straight.''
And she said, ''It's too late
What's done is done.''
And I told her, ''Someday.''
She said, ''I can't wait,
'Cause sometimes, someday just never comes,
'Cause Sometimes, someday just never comes...''
