Button Off My Shirt Lyrics By Paul Carrack

    i’ve heard the word going ’round town
    they say that you’re making a fool out of me
    baby it took me some time to come ’round
    to realize you were not what you seem

    each day’s passing the clock’s been my friend
    helped me get back on my feet again
    like a button off my shirt
    just an everyday distraction
    you’d be overreacting if you think that i still hurt
    you’re just a button off my shirt and someday i will replace you

    i don’t care what i have lost
    you got what you deserve
    i was down down down i was down
    im not the first and i wont be the last
    to make the mistake of believing in you
    i don’t intend to live in the past
    just like they say some you win some you lose
    you never loved me and you made it plain
    now it’s my turn and i’m playing your game
    like a button off my shirt
    just an everyday distraction
    you’d be overreacting if you think that i still hurt
    you’re just a button off my shirt and some day i will replace you

    i don’t care what i have lost
    you got what you deserve
    love and affection
    you started changing directions
    you threw it away
    girl you threw it away
    you never loved me and you made it plain
    now it’s my turn to make you understand
    like a button off my shirt
    just an everyday distraction
    you’d be overreacting if you think that i still hurt
    you’re just a button off my shirt and someday i will replace you

    i dont care what i have lost
    you got what you deserved
    like the button off my shirt
    just an everyday distraction
    you’d be overreacting if you think that i still hurt
    you’re just a button off my shirt and someday i will replace you

    i dont care what i have lost
    you got what you deserved
    like a button off my shirt
    just an everyday distraction
    you’d be overreacting if you think that i still hurt
    you’re just a button off my shirt and someday i will replace you
