You Couldn't Get The Picture

YOU COULDN'T GET THE PICTURE
WRITER CHUCK HARTERI walked through the front door Turned the light on in the hall And 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 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." And if you couldn't get the picture Maybe you can read the writing on the wall. Sometimes you do what you've gotta do If ya do anything at all. Sometimes it takes a freight train comin' Sometimes it takes a mountian to fall Sometimes you do what you've 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 the pillow said, "The lonely nights were hell" The on the mirror said, "Take a good luck 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. Sometimes you do what you've gotta do If ya do anything at all. Sometimes it takes a freight train comin' Sometimes it takes a mountian to fall Sometimes you do what you've 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. And if you couldn't get the picture Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
