Pedestal

from Dealing With People by John Kay

lyrics

I had a girl a couple years ago
She went away and I didn't know what I had done
To make her fall out of love
She left me on my knees
Praying to the stars abo-ove
But now she's back in my life after way too long
Finally time for us to right the wrong that we'd become
Over a couple of years
We went to a show and talked over a couple of beers

She could see the fire in my eyes
When she told me my so-called friend was telling her lies about me
I said...

I'm gonna put you up on a pedestal
You're gonna knock me down from mine
You've got my heart this time

Hold on tight and don't run away
I know everybody's got something to say about you and me
But don't believe a word
I'm not quite as bad as the stories you might have heard
And then she leans in to kiss me with the whiskey on her breath
She says she's trying to quit but I still love it when she tastes like cigarettes
Yeah, you know what I mean
She's still sweet as candy when she tastes like nicotine

I can see the passion in her eyes
And now I know she's no believing all those lies anymore
And I said...

I'm gonna put you up on a pedestal
You're gonna knock me down from mine
You've got my heart this time, girl
I'm gonna knock you off your pedestal
Anytime you're out of line
You've got my heart this time

I'm gonna put you up on a pedestal
You're gonna knock me down from mine
You've got my heart this time, girl
I'm gonna knock you off your pedestal
Anytime you're out of line
You've got my heart this time

I'm gonna put you up on a pedestal
I'm gonna put you up on a pedestal
Up on a pedestal
