Deloris - Happy New Year lyrics

I should have known to be afraid Things always happen on holidays Something in the water or sun Turns just a friend into just someone Someone new someone complete Someone that takes over your best friends feet At breakfast time you start again Darting eyes make darker friends So when you get home and we don't ring You can take out your purse And say that's him He used to be so good to me He used to be so kind I wish it wasn't true I guess it happens all the time The fireworks And fire falls down On a thousand kids Running through this town But all i can think Is it isn't right That i can drink and wear Short sleeves at night But I can't look at her And I can't breathe And I can't stand up Or stay on my feet And I can't lean Right up to her ear And whisper Happy new year
