You Got a Nerve by Rod Stewart Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1977

[Verse 1]
Here you stand with tears in your eyes
Crying into my arms
Pleading with me to take you back
Teasing me with your charms
But you got a nerve to come 'round here
After all you've said and done
I thought I had seen everything
Obviously I was wrong
'Cause where were you when the sun went down?
Skies turned dark and gray
Where were you when the north winds blew
Honey, tell me where were you?

[Verse 2]
I heard you were living down in Brazil
With them high-class friends of mine
I can't believe I was so naive
Did I never once cross your mind
You told them all I was down and out
My existence you even denied
Oh what pleasure it gives me now
To know that you're bleeding inside
[Verse 3]
You were my life, you were my breath
You were every move I ever made
But recently my opinion's changed
The joke's on you I'm afraid
'Cause I have a woman so beautiful
For you I could no longer wait
Please go away you may spoil everything
Your love has turned up too late

[Outro]
Go away, go away
Please, please go away
I loved you once
I don't love you now
Please, please go away
