Confessions Of A Mind

(Tony Hicks)

Track 6 on album 'Confessions For The Mind' november 1970



She goes away for a couple of days

So you phone a few number you fancy a change

You say you'll miss her but deep down inside

There are thoughts of another girl waiting somewhere for you



She's been away for a couple of days

The affairs weren't so good so you're mending your ways

You realise that there's nobody else who can do what she does for you

You tell yourself don't be a fool

Don't let her go chase as hard as you can

Or you'll be the loser

Swallow your pride you can still be a man

She'll never refuse you



She deserved to be loved, she wants to love you

If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do.



Baby I was lonely, still love you only, but I was a bad boy

Know you couldn't see me, thought you'd never leave me, so I was bad boy

Even though I'm trying, there is no denying I am just a bad boy

Met a little baby, thought she was a lady, still I was a bad boy



She gives me everything a girl's supposed to do

She gives me everything still I can't be true

She gives me everything, she gives me everything



Going off to different places

All I see is different faces

I love them all but not like you



She deserves to be loved, she wants to love you

If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do.



She deserves to be loved -

Yes she does, you know she does

She deserves to be loved -

Even if she goes away

She deserves to be loved -

No one else can take her place

She deserves to be loved -

You'll be the loser if you let her go

She deserves to be loved -

She gives you everything a girl's supposed to do

She deserves to be loved -

You love them all but she's the one for you

She deserves to be loved -

Yes she does, you know she does

She deserves to be loved -

Even if she goes away

She deserves to be loved -

No one else can take her place
