Acting This Way Songtext
von Robert Cray

It′s three o'clock in the morning
When you finally answer your phone
Ask me why I keep calling
Why I don′t leave you alone
Where you've been, who you've been with
Oh, I really wanna know
Then you hang up your phone, girl
Knowing you′re hurting me so

Sometimes it′s so hard
When you go away, baby, yeah

That's why I keep on your trail, girl
That′s why I'm acting this way


I′ve lived on a fantasy
Baby, baby, that you still wanted me
You told me to face reality
But this is something that had never, never been
I thought if I kept on trying
Baby, that you might take me back
The false hopes I'm not denying
Have kept me on one track

Again, it′s so hard
When you go away, baby

That's why I keep on your trail, girl
That's why I′m acting this way

I hope you finally face it
And start moving on
Both of our time′s been wasted
So I'm probably better off
Still there′ll always be these questions
Baby, baby, that keep on nagging me
The more I've been crying
This is something that might never, never be

And I feel so happy
Now that you′re gone away, yeah


I'm gonna get off your trail, girl
And stop acting this way
Oh, I feel so happy
Now that you′re gone away, yeah
I'm gonna get off your trail, girl
And stop acting this way

Said that I'm gonna get off your trail, baby
And stop acting this way
