The Business

THE BUSINESS - Written by Carroll Bryant

Been missing you since Christmas

When you failed to come around

You keep giving me the business

And the word’s all over town

It’s been driving me so crazy

I thought I was your only clown

You keep giving me the business

And it’s been getting me down

I can’t keep chasing your shadow

Or reaching for your hand

Everywhere that you go

Is exactly where I am

My heart just keeps on breaking

Your heart’s on the lamb

You keep giving me the business

I’ve been trying to take a stand

 Been missing you since New Years

When I had to dull the pain

You set fire to my tears

I couldn’t even feel the flame

There’s no time like the present

To keep living in the game

You keep giving me the business

I’ve been trying to spell your name

I can’t keep chasing your shadow

Or reaching for your hand

Everywhere that you go

Is exactly where I am

My heart just keeps on breaking

Your heart’s on the lamb

You keep giving me the business

I’ve been trying to take a stand

Been missing you since Christmas

When you failed to come around

You keep giving me the business

And the word’s all over town

It’s been driving me so crazy

I thought I was your only clown

You keep giving me the business

And it’s been getting me down

You keep giving me the business

And now my heart wants to shut-down
