Neil Innes - Things I Couldve Said Lyrics

Forgive me if I look a loser
But do you think I choose the way I feel?
Remember what you see
Is just the part of me I can't conceal
Remember me to all your friends outside the door
Don't think that I don't know just what they're waiting for
I'm a nervous wreck
I have no need for self-respect
Although I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said

What's the use in cryin' after all is said and done
It's not the end in fact it's only just begun
Now I have to try and look the future in the eye
Although I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said

Is it any wonder that I'm down
All I have to do is look around
I thought it could get better, I was wrong
Could it be I waited far too long?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

No more taking chances
Now I've got the choice
There must be a purpose
Each time I raise my voice
No more tongue in cheek
And I will think before I speak
Although I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said
Although I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said

I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said
I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said
I shake my head
When I think of all the things I could've said

ooo-oo, ooo-oo, ooo-oo, ooo-oo,
ooo-oo, ooo-oo, ooo-oo...
