Turrell's Lament - Kraak & Smaak, John Turrell

Shoulda maybe stopped this from the start

Who are we kidding baby, it’s better that we’re apart

And I don’t know where to go no more

Everyday I walk around and call no place my home

Should made the time, shoulda made you walk, shoulda maybe led you on

Coulda maybe stopped around to say I was never your home

Coulda maybe looked at you in a way that said girl stay away

I don’t know what’s happening

Coulda maybe been seeing someone else but I didn’t want to let you know

And all this time I’ve known that I was wasting your time

And I know I been there before and I know

but who’s to say it’s all in the way

I don’t know where we went wrong… went wrong

What have I done now, where are we at

Who’s to say that it don’t matter now.

What have I done now, what can I see

There ain’t no other lover trying to bother me

Time’s been aching, what have I done to you… girl

I coulda been bigger, coulda done more

Baby coulda phoned you up with a call

But lover it ain’t what I do… no

Hey, love don’t matter and and boys don’t matter

and things don’t matter to me.

And life don’t matter and it’s just better if a man I know I’ll be

And lies don’t matter and a voice don’t matter

and my eyes don’t even see

Cause the love we had ain’t nothing bad

… but it’s over for me yeah, for me yeah
