Lyrics

The Quandary (After-Hours Sighs)

I find myself in quite a quandary
And chasing shadows in the air
Things I thought I was doing right I'm doing wrong
And I lie awake at night and hope he cares

Everybody's telling me I try too hard
Or I'm only after "after-hours sighs"
And they're telling me that I've been wasting too much time
But they ain't seen the depths behind his eyes
No, they ain't seen those cool green depths inside

We've been best of friends for a while now
But I went and fell in love and changed the game
Now I want to hold him to me all night long
And though he loves me, he says he don't feel the same

Everybody's telling me I try too hard
Or I'm only after "after-hours sighs"
And they're telling me that I've been wasting too much time
But they ain't seen the depths behind his eyes
No, they ain't seen those cool green depths inside

He just needs a friend to share his worries
And the feelings he has bottled up inside
He don't need the extra trouble my love brings
Wants another woman by his side

Everybody's telling me I try too hard
Or I'm only after "after-hours sighs"
And they're telling me that I've been wasting too much time
But they ain't seen the depths behind his eyes
No, they ain't seen those cool green depths inside
No, they ain't seen those cool green depths inside
