So many people fall in love And i laugh of them for being dumb And then i turn around and eat my crow. If you don't understand that phrase Maybe i can add a phrase In other words: the joke's on me Because I never cared much for owning things For fancy cars, or diamond rings But i knew i had to have you, kate Kate, when i met you, You had everything that i need Now you're gonne And i miss you terribly When we grow old it won't be long I'll write a book and sell my songs Making just enough to keep us poor I'll have an empty flat with just one room And an old swing bed with space for two Take me or leave me, babe It's all i got If you stay with me and eat a while A loaf of bread, a glass of wine I know its all on me but you are Kate, when i met you, You had everything that i need Now you're gonne And i miss you terribly But i feel someway that i'll come up sure You'll realize i'm not the sort of boy you want To call your name You'll get tired of the empty shells When i'm trying out here to make it for myself Will you stand by me even if i fail? You know i loved you from the start When you wrapped your fingers around my heart And you torn that big thing in two I'm just waiting for when the time is right To ask you kate if you'll be my wife And then we'll paint the world like two lovers do 'cause kate i'm so tired of missing you Oh kate… i'm so tired of missing you
