Alternative To Love Lyrics - Brendan Benson

Maybe if I lay real still 

It will go away, maybe it will 

Maybe this time I won't budge 

Maybe I just need a little nudge 

Maybe this time I won't flinch 

Maybe this time it might be a sinch 

Maybe this time I won't run 

Maybe I'll own up to what I've done 

What have I done? 

What have I done? 

Maybe I'm just damaged goods 

And, baby, you're a babe in the woods 

And me, I'm just a little lost lamb 

But you love me wherever I am 

And maybe I've been caught red handed 

Making off like a lucky bandit 

And this wasn't how I planned it 

Maybe this time I could stay 

And let myself get carried away 

Maybe this time it's too late 

We could make a move or we could wait 

Maybe she will understand 

And not expect too much from one man 

Maybe she can or maybe she can't 

Maybe when I've changed my tune 

I'll come out of my solitude 

And start to live my life anew 

And spend the rest of my days pleasing you 

And on the path to righteousness 

I'll swept the dust 

Whatever it takes to gain your trust 

I'll do what I must 

I'll do what I must 

I'll do what I must 

I'll do what I must 

I'll do what I must do 

I'll do it up 

Maybe I'm just damaged goods 

And, baby, you're a babe in the woods 

And me, I'm just a little lost lamb 

But you love me wherever I am 

And maybe I've been caught red handed 

Making off like a lucky bandit 

And now I walk this planet 

Forever it's a joke, the alternative to love 

Forever it's a joke, the alternative to love 

Forever it's a joke, the alternative to love 

...
