Sick and Tired
Love's Breaking Point: Eric Clapton's Tale of Heartache
Lyrics
I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
I plan to acquire a parrot, my dear,
And teach him how to call my name.
To train it to utter my name.
I'm gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
I intend to purchase a parrot, my dear,
And teach him how to call my name.
To teach it to call out my name.
Then I won't have to miss you baby
So that I won't feel the absence of you, my love,
And I won't have you driving me insane.
To prevent you from causing me distress.
I was in love with you, baby,
I was deeply in love with you, my love,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
Until the day you brought me to great sadness.
I was in love with you, baby,
I was deeply in love with you, my love,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
Until the day you caused me immense sorrow.
You had me walking 'round in circles, baby;
You had me wandering in confusion, my love;
I didn't know which way to go.
I didn't know which direction to take.
Oh, I'm so sick and tired baby,
Oh, I'm extremely weary and fed up, my love,
I'm sick and tired of the way you carry on.
I'm exhausted by the way you behave.
Lord, I'm sick and tired, baby,
Lord, I'm worn out and frustrated, my love,
Sick and tired of the way you carry on.
Tired of your actions and demeanor.
You can pack up all of your things, baby;
You can gather your belongings, my love;
Hit the road, get out of here, be gone.
Leave, depart, and be gone.
Now I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Now, I plan to obtain a shotgun, my dear,
Keep it stashed behind the door.
Keep it hidden behind the door.
I'm gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
I intend to get a shotgun, my dear,
Keep it stashed behind the bedroom door.
Keep it concealed behind the bedroom door.
I may have to blow your brains out, baby,
I might have to use it forcefully, my love,
Then you won't bother me no more.
So that you won't trouble me any longer.
