Mixed-Up Guy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm gon' let you go now, angel Though I could make you stay I could use my blind self-pity And throw it in your way But the times have turned between us And you know I don't believe That it makes one bit of difference If you stay, or if you leave [Chorus] Oh, why (why) Can't I be lonely (lonely) Like that lonely rushin' river Ah, that's pushin' down the mountain On its way to meet the sea? Oh, why (why) Can't I need someone (someone) Like that river needs that ocean? Oh, why did you have to get so mixed-up, baby With a mixed-up guy (Mixed-up guy) With a mixed-up guy like me? [Verse 2] I'm gon' make it short now, angel Though I could make it long I could take you through the changes And show you where you're wrong But our dreams don't flow together And you'll never, never see the light So it really doesn't matter Who is wrong, and who is right [Chorus] Oh, why (why) Can't I be lonely (lonely) Like that lonely rushin' river Ah, that's pushin' down the mountain On its way to meet the sea? Oh, why (why) Can't I need someone (someone) Like that river needs that ocean? Oh, why did you have to get so mixed-up, baby With a mixed-up guy (Mixed-up guy) With a mixed-up guy like me? [Outro] Ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh, ooh ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh, ooh ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
