Bob Dylan — We Better Talk This Over

[Verse 1] I think we better talk this over Maybe when we both get sober You’ll understand I’m only a man Doing’ the best that I can [Verse 2] This situation can only get rougher Why should we needlessly suffer? Let’s call it a day, go our own different ways Before we decay [Chorus 1] You don’t have to be afraid of looking into my face We’ve done nothing to each other time will not erase [Verse 3] I feel displaced, I got a low-down feeling You been two-faced, you been double-dealing I took a chance, got caught in the trance Of a downhill dance [Verse 4] Oh, child, why you wanna hurt me? I’m exiled, you can’t convert me I’m lost in the haze of your delicate ways With both eyes glazed [Chorus 2] You don’t have to yearn for love, you don’t have to be alone Somewheres in this universe there’s a place that you can call home [Verse 5] I guess I’ll be leaving tomorrow If I have to beg, steal or borrow It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half Look at each other and laugh [Verse 6] But I don’t think it’s liable to happen Like the sound of one hand clapping’ The vows that we kept are now broken and swept ’Neath the bed where we slept [Verse 7] Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope? Eventually we’ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope [Verse 8] Oh, babe, time for a new transition I wish I was a magician I would wave a wand and tie back the bond That we’ve both gone beyond
