Lyrics
Where there’s a cloud, don’t mean there’s rainTears in my eyes, don’t mean there’s painDon’t flatter yourselfI’m over youThings aren’t always what they seemYou can’t believe everything you readOn my faceI’m over youYou heard I’m drinking more than I shouldThat I ain’t been looking all that goodSomeone told you I was taking it roughWhy are they making those stories up?When I’m over youThere were times that if you’d been aroundYou would have seen me broken downBut now you won’tI’m over youSo if I seem a little bit coldIt only means you’ve lost the holdYou had on meI’m over youYou heard I’m drinking more than I shouldThat I ain’t been looking all that goodSomeone told you I was taking it roughBut why are they making those stories up?When I’m over youYou heard I’m drinking more than I shouldThat I ain’t been looking all that goodSomeone told you I was taking it roughBut why are they making those stories up?When I’m over youI’m over youI’m over you
