Lyrics

This morning I did a crossword, got two or three right
I guess I shoulda stopped, after my third whiskey last night
Cause I never was that smart, and was never good with words
And I never did love you, no matter what you heard

Six Down clue was you, forty-four across was me
Whatever are the answers, we’re too distant to agree
Cause I never had an interest, to think different’s absurd
And I never want to hold you, no matter what you’ve heard

Just like a crossword, put away your poison pen
We need a new language, so we can begin again
Words like daggers are sharper than any sword
Like a crossword
Oooh crossword

I put the newspaper down, and pick up my guitar
And close my eyes to play a tune, and there you are
Cause I ain’t too good at lyin’, it’s not my thing
So I’ll sit here with my bourbon, and pour a drink

Eleven down is broken, six across is heart
Those answers fit together, as long as we’re apart
Cause sometimes I’m careless, at times I get burned
Like when I gave the love to you, that was never returned

Just like a crossword, put away your poison pen
We need a new language, so we can begin again
Words like daggers are sharper than any sword
Like a crossword
Oooh crossword
