Lyrics Back Doors Crying - Peter Allen

Thought I was happy only when I was sad
Let go of good things, hung on to the bad
In all the wrong places, in all the wrong times
I said I needed sadness to finish my rhymes

And I was lookin' in back doors, cryin'
While you were out front, waitin' to make me smile
Yes, I was lookin' in back doors, cryin'
While you were out front, waitin' to make me smile

Usin' low-life to polish my wit
Choosin' the crazies and hopin' they'd fit
Sayin' half empty's the same as half full
All of my lines gettin' harder to pull

And I was lookin' in back doors, cryin'
While you were out front, waitin' to make me smile

('Cause of you)
(Only you)
('Cause of you)
(Only you)

I was lookin' in back doors, cryin'
While you were out front waitin' to make me smile
Yes, I was standin' backstage, cryin'
While you were out front waitin' to make me smile

('Cause of you) It's 'cause of you
(Only you) Only you
('Cause of you) Just 'cause of you, babe
(Only you) It's 'cause of you
('Cause of you) It's only you
(Only you) It's 'cause of you
('Cause of you) It's 'cause of you
(Only you) 'Cause of you
('Cause of you) Only you
(Only you) It's 'cause of you
('Cause of you) It's only 'cause of you
(Only you) I was lookin' in back doors, cryin'
('Cause of you)
(Only you) While you were out front
('Cause of you) Just waitin' to make me smile
(Only you) Make me smile, make me smile
('Cause of you)
(Only you)
