David Standridge songs
A different kind of Valentine wish...
Can’t Feel Pain
Can’t Feel Pain
It’s morning time in the kitchen
He wants his coffee black
She stares out the window with the pretty lace curtain
And wants her future back
Got a husband come and go as he please
It ain’t Mars or Venus it’s somewhere in between
Not what she signed up for, what she thought it’d be
Now she’s stuck inside a looking glass playin’ Donna Reed
She wants it to change
Just stop the rain
He likes everything the way it is
Says she’s to blame
She wants to hear him say he’s sorry
Stop that acid rain
But how can a man repent
If he can’t feel pain
Her smile is forced
Her dreams are guarded
He takes the punch bowl
Just when the party gets started
She stands there depressed in her apron and dress
Tryin’ to keep everything lemony fresh
She thinks about the first time her love she professed
Now she can’t remember how it feels to be caressed
She wants it to change
Just stop the rain
He likes everything the way it is
Says she’s to blame
She wants to hear him say he’s sorry
Stop that acid rain
But how can a man repent
If he can’t feel pain
It’s morning time in the kitchen
He wants his coffee black
She stares out the window with the pretty lace curtain
And wants her future back
Both of them there but they’re miles apart
She fills another cup for him he’s still got an empty heart
So she spends another day arranging bouquets
And takes another little pill to help her mind drift away
She wants to hear him say he’s sorry
Stop that acid rain
But how can a man repent
If he can’t feel pain
