The Hollywood Blues Destroyers - No One Else'll Do Lyrics

It's a town of memories I might have more than most
I'm in an apartment down the block from all my ghosts
You've been around forever but you've never been with me
And now I'm showing up in places where I hope you'll be
I'm on the roof with my guitar
To serenade the evening stars
With all the pretty girls I could be singing to
Not that I ain't looked but no one else will do
With all the pretty girls I could be singing to
Not that I ain't looked but no one else will do
Now what is it I'm saying that you don't hear at home
What is it about him that got you feeling so alone
If I was him I'd give up drinking tough it out and sober up
'Cause you're so sweet if I'd not met you I'd a dreamt you up
The sky is hot and cooling down
I'm looking toward your side of town
Staring at your picture as the night turns blue
Don't know what it is but no one else will do
Staring at your picture as the night turns blue
Don't know what it is but no one else will do
Well tell it to me simple say it to me plain
What goes through your mind when someone speaks my name
Am I the sweet distraction or the smile when things get dark
Or am I just a secret tucked within your heart
It feels like midnight but it's not
The sky is dark but it's still hot
It ain't like I'm saying I'll wait for you
But honey I've got time and no one else will do
It ain't like I'm saying I'll wait for you
But honey I've got time and no one else will do
