What You'Re Proposing
Status Quo
4:19It sounds so nice, what you're proposing Just once or twice, and not disclosing And not disclosing how we're feeling, really feeling What you're proposing the other night As I was leaving, I looked left and right And not believing And not believing that I'd finally be leaving What you're proposing, now get it right If I'm composing, but then I might Be runny nosing I might be runny runny runny runny nosing But you're supposing And not believing that I'd finally be leaving What you're proposing What you're proposing What you're proposing What you're proposing Heading down the back turnpike Signposts are pointing west Fell into the lonely dustpipe Hope my pickup can stand the test But I'm doing all right now Rolling down the dustpipe Guess I didn't make it in the city But that's just the way that it goes There's a lotta lunatics, crazy ghostmen baby Don't like the shape of my nose But I'm doing all right now Rolling down the dustpipe now Well you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you You asked me not to call you on the phone Well there's something I've been waiting for to tell you So I wrote it in the words of a song Now the glamour of the gay night-life has lured you To the places where the wine and liquor flow Well you went to be somebody else's baby And forget the truest love you've ever known I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life I never knew there were honky-tonk angels Oh I might have known you'd never make a wife You gave up the only one that ever loved you And went back to that wild side of life Railroad she left me standing on a line Railroad she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving never gonna come back again I'm living alone A place of my own A bed a chair and one back door Something went wrong With the words to my song And now she ain't around no more It was something she said As she laid on my bed Six or seven hours ago I guess I was wrong I really didn't think she would go Railroad she left me standing on a line Railroad she's really leaving me this time Leaving on the midnight train Leaving never gonna come back again Well once upon a time not so very long ago There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? I said why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? I said why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
