Paul Carrack – Button Off Of My Shirt lyrics

I heard the word going 'round town
They say you're making a fool out of me
Baby, it took me some time to come 'round
To realize you were not what you seem

Each day passing the clock is my friend
Help me get back on my feet again

Like a button off my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be overreacting if you think that I still hurt
Just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost you got what you deserve
I was down, down, down, down, down, down, down

I'm not the first, I won't be the last
To make the mistake of believing in you
I don't intend to live in the past
Just like they say some you win, some you lose

You never loved me and you made it plain
And now it's my turn and I'm playing your game

Like a button off my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be overreacting if you think that I still hurt
Just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve

(Love and affection)
You started
(Changing directions)
You threw it away, yeah
(Down, down, down)
Down, down, down

You never loved me and you made it plain
And now it's my turn to make you understand

Like a button off my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be overreacting if you think that I still hurt
Just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost, you got what you deserve

Like a button off my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be overreacting if you think that I still hurt
Just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
And I don't care what I have lost you got what you deserve

Like a button off my shirt just an everyday distraction
You'd be overreacting if you think that I still hurt
Just a button off my shirt and someday I will replace you
I don't care what I have lost
