lyrics

I Just Can't Get Angry With You (by Paul Cumming)

You sit there before me you lines already rehearsed
This could be the last time you leave me, it's not the first
Say what you might, and even if it's all true
I'm not going to fight, just can't get angry with you

I'm a fool to myself really believing that I
Could reach the standards you set so impossibly high
I'm not a saint, that was the best I could do
If that's your complaint, I just can't get angry with you

Maybe I, might just try
Hurling some juicy abuse as you say goodbye
And justify, the reasons why
You want me to crawl to a corner, curl up and die

So get really mad, the best form of defence is attack
That would just hurt me, not make me not want you back
You can't make me hate you, if that's what you're trying to do
It's really too late, I just can't get angry with you

Now I find out you're leaving little old me far behind
To visit new countries with that new man on your mind
You need a crutch, we know it's nothing new
But I love you so much, just can't get angry with you

"Great music in the country and kinda-country genres isn’t just for those of us here in the southern states. There are tunes brewing in Brisbane, as the Dead Beat Daddios prove."
