You Couldn't Get The Picture

I walked in the front door

Turned the light on in the hall

Then I saw the post-it notes

That she had stuck up on the wall

The first one said, "I love you, but I can't live on love alone"

♪

The little yellow post-it-notes were stuck up everywhere

One was on the microwave and one on the Fridgidaire

It said "I cried all night but you

Weren't there to watch the teardrops fall"

But if you couldn't get the picture

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall

♪

Sometimes you do what you gotta do

If you do anything at all

Sometimes it takes a freight train comin'

Sometimes it takes a mountain to fall

Sometimes you do what you gotta do

Sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl

And if you couldn't get the picture

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall

♪

The post-it note on her pillow said

"The lonely nights were hell"

The one on the mirror said

"Take a good look at yourself"

And the one she put on the closet door

Said, "I waited long enough for you to call"

And if you couldn't get the picture

Maybe you can read the writing on the wall
