TOM THE MODEL
From the album 'Out Of Season'
[3:41]
LYRICS:
How can I forget your
tender smile
Moments that I have shared with you
Our hearts may break but they're on their way
And there's nothing
I can do
So do what you gotta do
Don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout
me
I'd do it again
I can understand that it can't be
Guess it's hard as you were meant for me
But I can't hide
My own despair
I guess I never will
Just do what you gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout
me
I'd do it again
So tired of life
No fairytale
So hold your fire
Cos I need you
So do what you gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout
me
I'd do it again
Do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You keep going over every word that we've
said
But you don't have to
Worry about me
