Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Sometimes A Great Notion

Never give an inch - that's what I say, son.

When it's too tough for everybody else,

Hell, it's just right for me.

Now my lips are bleeding

From the selfish things that I've done,

And my heart: it lies at the bottom of the ocean.

Sometimes a great notion...

Wanted to make love to my girl

In the backseat of my car.

So, I took her to the drive-in picture show.

So, I filled her up with

Lies and a strong love potion,

And I'm sittin' here, watching the movie alone.

Sometimes a great notion...

Sometimes the best plans

Have been known to go astray.

So, you better put your seatbelt on.

Just like your worst headache,

Well, a bad day don't go away.

And, you hit the ground running against your emotions.

Sometimes a great notion...

Sometimes a great notion...
