Back Doors Crying - Peter Allen

Thought I was happy only when I was sad

Let go of good things hung onto the bad

In all the wrong places

In all the wrong times

Said I needed sadness to finish my rhymes

And I was looking in back doors crying

While you were out front

Waiting to make me smile

Yes, I was looking in back doors crying

While you were out front

Waiting to make me smile

Using the low-life to polish my wit

Choosing the crazies and hoping they’d fit

Saying half empty’s the same as half full

All of my lines getting harder to pull

And I was looking in back doors crying

While you were out front

Waiting to make me smile

Cuz of you, only you

Cuz of you, only you

I was looking in back doors crying

While you were out front

Waiting to make me smile

Yes, I was standing back stage crying

While you were out front

Waiting to make me smile

It’s cuz of you (it's cuz of you), only you (only you)

Cuz of you (just cuz of you, babe), only you (it's cuz of you)

Cuz of you (it's only you), only you

It’s cuz of you (cuz of you), it’s cuz of you (only you)

Cuz of you (cuz of you), only you (only you)
