Game Size

HER NAME WAS BOBBY SUE HIS NAME WAS SKINNY JIM
THEIR LIVES WERE UNDERSTATED AND THEY COULDN'T
SEEM TO WIN
IN EVERY WAY THEY WONDERED, LOVE WAS TORN ASUNDER
WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG? FOR THE BOTH OF THEM

EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT, BOBBY CRIED TILL THE
MORNING LIGHT, EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT JIM WOULD
DRINK AND THEY WOULD FIGHT

HOW LONG CAN THIS KEEP GOING ON? HOW LONG CAN WE...
HOW LONG CAN THIS KEEP GOING ON? HOW LONG CAN WE...
AND THIS IS THE STORY OF A LOVE THAT COULDN'T LAST
OF A LONG FORGOTTEN PAST,
OF YOUTH THAT SLIPPED AWAY,
OF A THOUGHT FROM YESTERDAY

Long Version


Her name was Bobby Sue his name was Skinny Jim
Their lives were understated and they couldn't seem to win
In every way they wondered, love was torn asunder
Where did it all go wrong for the both of them?

And soon the day would come when they could be as one
cause life's a lesson that they had to live and like to learn
In every way they wandered love was left to anger
When did a love so strong live a lie for them?

Everyday and every night Bobby cried till the morning light
Everyday and every night Jim would drink and they would fight

How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
How long can this keep going on? How long can we...

Her name was Bobby Sue his name was Skinny Jim
Their lives were underrated and they couldn't seem to win
Is this the way they wondered? life was torn asunder
When would it all be right for the both of them?

Everyday and every night Bobby cried till the morning light
Everyday and every night Jim would drink and they would fight

How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
How long can this keep going on? How long can we...

Everyday and every night Bobby cried till the morning light
Everyday and every night Jim would drink and they would fight

How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
How long can this keep going on? How long can we...

And this is the story of love that couldn't last,
of a long forgotten past, of youth that slipped away,
of a thought from yesterday
