Can't Stay Mad At You

from The New Normal? by Andy Pratt

/

about

actually a song I wrote in the seventies reworked

lyrics

I can't stay mad at you baby
cause I got better things to do
I shouldn't eat out my heart
but you know I do sometimes

the feast is on the table
why does it take so long to find out
it's a horrible world
but you can't let that get to you

I'm in love with you
and you're a shining light in my darkest night
so throw me a bone and I'll be happy

all through the day
all through the night
I remember all my time with you
everything we did everything we said
shining like a fire in my head

I can't stay mad at your baby
cause I got better things to do
I can't stay mad at you
cause I love you

that's what we need
everybody needs love
we need love
that's what we need

(instrumental)

I walk a thousand miles to shake off the Devil
trying to make me hate everybody
trying to make me give up oh no
cause you're a shining light in my darkness
and I need you by my side
when you can

Love is something we all need
something you can't shoot your way to
something you can't bomb your way to
drone your way to oh no
it's a human thing
not a machine

(choir)
