Circumstances Lyrics

I said yes when I should have said no
Stay when I should have said go
And sometimes maybe should have stayed in bed
I was fast when I should have been slow
High when I should have been low
And sometimes maybe well I wished I was dead

Well we all make mistakes
We all gotta learn
We're all gonna die
And we're all gonna burn
Circumstances get you every time

I got smart when I should have played dumb
Pretended I was under her thumb
And sometimes maybe should have rung the bell
I was wrong when I should have been right
Stone cold sober when I should have been tight
And sometimes maybe should have run like hell

Well there's a knocking in the engine
And the gas is getting low
There's a smell of something burning
And I think she's gonna blow
Circumstances get you every time

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Circumstances get you every time
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Circumstances get you every time

Circumstances get you every time

I had chalk when I should have had cheese
Joanna when I wanted Louise
And sometimes maybe when I should have had you
I was out when I should have been in
It seems that absence is a cardinal sin
And sometimes maybe when I should have been blue

Well the road is getting rocky
And the night is getting dark
If the sea is getting calmer
You can bet there'll be a shark
Circumstances get you every time

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Circumstances get you every time
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Circumstances get you every time
