Acting This Way - Robert Cray

It’s three O’clock in the morning

When you finally answer your phone

Ask me why I keep calling

Why I don’t leave you alone

Where you’ve been, who’ve you been with

Is all I really wanna know

And then you hang up the phone, girl

Knowing, you’re hurtin' me so

Sometimes I find it so hard

To let you get away

So I keep on your trail, girl

That’s why I’m acting this way

I’ve lived on a fantasy

That you still wanted me

You said to face reality

This is something that should’ve never, never been

I’ve thought up about not tryin'

That you might take me back

But false hopes of not dyin'

Have kept me on one track

Sometimes I find it so hard

To let you get away, girl

That’s why I keep on your trail, baby

That’s why I’m acting this way

I hoped, you’ve finally faced it

And started moving on

Both our times have been wasted

So I’m probably better off

Still there’ll always be these questions

That keep on nagging me

But baby, why not try it?

This is something that might never, never be

And I feel so happy

To let you get away, ohh, yeah

I’m gonna get off your trail, girl

And stop acting this way

And, oh, I guess I’m so happy

To let you get away, yeah

I’m gonna get off your trail, girl

And stop acting this way

I’m gonna stay off your trail, girl

And stop acting this way
