Those Funny Things You Do: Original Song by Bill McCloskey

Published 2023-06-07
When I first met you, baby, in the tavern in town
I fell in love with the way you talked and your funny little frown
Well, we laugh and talked and cried a bit about the things that we both knew
and I went crazy for the funny things you do.

But now things are different, now I know the score.
And a small town romance is bound to make you sore.
Who ever said that a love that’s lost is better than no love at all
Has never lived in a small town and never took a fall.

Cause I see you at parties, with all your friends around
and all the men, gather in, hanging on every sound.
I know it’s a bit selfish it’s true…
But I can’t stand those funny things you do.

The Things that made me love you, now eat me up inside
I thought that I could be your friend, lord knows I tried.
But every time I see you, I get lower by degrees
I got to get myself out of this, everyone agrees.

Cause I see you at parties, with all your friends around
and all the men, gather in, hanging on every sound.
I know it’s a bit selfish it’s true…
But I can’t stand those funny things you do.

I guess I’ll give up on love awhile, it don’t seem to do no good.
Guess I’ll give up on talking too…I can’t be understood
You wound me and I wound you..I’m going to lay out for awhile
Find myself a place to hide where I can’t see your smile.

Cause I see you at parties, with all your friends around
and all the men, gather in, hanging on every sound.
I know it’s a bit selfish it’s true…
But I can’t stand those funny things you do.
