Selling Me Short While Stringing Me Long - Bobb Trimble

Beauty is getting closer to the one you should love today

But when I hold you in my arms

Your heart’s a million miles away

Help me to help myself, I’m falling in love with you

I love you with all of my heart

You know I loved you right from the start

Well, you’re selling me short while stringing me 'long

Don’t soft-sell my love tonight

Don’t ever bait, then switch my heart

I don’t want to love a loss leader tonight

Help me to to help myself, help me to hold the truth

I have so many ways to love you

Won’t you let me show you a few?

But when the morning gets you down

Perhaps the light of day will bring you 'round

Beware of the falling rocks on the bad curve tonight

When you sympathize with yourself

You’re putting my love up on the shelf

Don’t pull that «persona non grata» bullshit tonight

Well, I tried to take the solemn oath with you

But the words I could never seem to find

If you came for my love and left empty-handed

Perhaps you weren’t searching for mine

Beauty is getting closer to the one you should love today

But when I hold you in my arms

Your heart’s a million miles away

Help me to help myself, I’m madly in love with you

I love you with all of my heart

You know I loved you

Right from the start, right from the start

Right from the start, right from the start
