Lyrics
The View
Words and Music by Ray Sharp
Well, I'm sittin' here again;
this time without my baby;
thought he could do no wrong;
boy I was wrong;
a pretty girl shouldn't wait this long;
but since I love you;
I'll sit and enjoy the view.
Well it's gettin' late;
let's get something straight;
this is not exactly my dream date, no, no;
a pretty girl shouldn't have to wait;
but since I love you;
I'll sit and enjoy the view.
Well, the sun has gone down;
the moon is shinin' bright;
I'm sure your reasons will be quite alright;
I bet you're missin';
these lips you could be kissin';
and the stars will light;
your way home.
I'm laying my head down;
still without my baby;
where do you think I went wrong?
oh so wrong;
this pretty girl is just not that strong;
but since I love you;
I'll always enjoy the view.
