Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Melissa Ferrick

Every Three Words

I can only hear

Every three words

So make 'em count

'Cause I'm out here

Barely hanging on

There's no else I'd

Wait around this long for

Take this much no for

Makes me wonder what we're in for

So would you give me some hope

Ya give me a reason

To keep on trying

Come on buy me flowers

Smile me that smile

'Cause I just need a little something from you

For the rest of my life

And I'm sure that I've got some kind of

Motive here and when I figure it out

I'll fill you in

But every body knows

That I'm a sucker for a hard sell

Ya look at me dancing

All the way into your slaughter house

Look at me dancing for you

So would you give me some hope

Give me a reason

To keep on trying

Come on buy me flowers

Smile me that smile

Cause I just need a little something

All I need is one crack of light

To see where the entrance is

Come on open the door baby

And let's expose the answers

Yes as to why we have been through

All we've been

So would you give me some hope

Ya give me a reason

To keep on trying

Buy me flowers

Smile me that beautiful smile

'Cause I just need a little something from you

For the rest of my life

For the rest of my life
