Lyrics for Tears Before Bedtime (previously unreleased alternate version) by Elvis Costello

I know the name on the tip of your tongueAnd I know that accusing lookEverybody knows I've been so wrongThat's the p
roblem and here's the hookTears before bedtimeThere'll be trouble tonightI don't want to talk about it anymoreI don't want
to have another fightI don't want to talk I don't want to fightHow wrong can I be before I am rightFor the tears that you
boo hoo hoo hooThere can be no defenceYou say you'll forgive and forgetBut it's only a pretence Either you can leave the p
ast behindOr give me something to disconnect my mindI sleep with my fists clenched tightWhen I don't lie awake all nightI g
uess time gave up the ghost too lateAnd the balance of our loveVery soon turns to hateDarling your suspiciousnessTortures
me at nightBut I can't excuse the cruel wordsThat I use whenever we fight(chorus)
