So Many Things
Amy Diamond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want you to be around
Call you pretty things
Baby I don't know about you
But I don't like to be the one hanging on the wall

Baby like I always do
And I'd so like to go crazy
I'm so tired of this waiting around
And I'd so like to go crazy
I'm so sick of this state of mind

So many things I'd like to say
I just don't know, I just don't know
How many times I tried today
To let it show, I just don't know
So many things I'd like to say
I just don't know, I just don't know
How many times I tried today
To let it show, I just don't know

Du, du du du du
Du, du du du
Du, du du du du du du daa daa

Du, du du du du
Du, du du du
Du, du du du du du du daa daa

I just want you to understand why
I'm in band writing all these songs for you
Cause I don't think that I can wait
Leave it Up to fate, baby like I always do

And I'd so like to go crazy
I'm so tired of this waiting around
And I'd so like to go crazy
I'm so sick of this state of mind

So many things I'd like to say
I just don't know, I just don't know
How many times I tried today
To let it show, I just don't know

So many things I'd like to say
I just don't know, I just don't know
How many times I tried today
To let it show, I just don't know

Oh baby maybe I'm a little extreme
Or just a teeny little more than it seems
But I just need to show the whole world that
I'm so sick of this state of mind

So many things I'd like to say
I just don't know, I just don't know
How many times I tried today
To let it show, I just don't know

So many things I'd like to say
I just don't know, I just don't know
How many times I tried today
To let it show, I just don't know

Du, du du du du
Du, du du du
Du, du du du du du du daa daa

Du, du du du du




Du, du du du
Du, du du du du du du daa daa
