Bill Osofsky songs
I've had this for several months. We were hoping to find a female vocalist to do a version of this, but Rick's person fell through. So here's Rick's version, which is pretty darn good, IMO
SCARED OF THE FEELING
(Verse)
You saw I was hurtin', lost and uncertain
There playin' cards by myself
Sittin' alone, feelin' feelings you'd known
I guess that you thought you could help
You walked over here and you pulled up a chair
Asked could you play for a while
Put down you're drink and gave me a wink
I couldn't say no to your smile
(chorus)
But, baby, I'm scared of the feeling
So don't get no closer to me
This isn't the way that I want it
It's just how I need it to be
Cause baby, I'm scared of the feeling
I'm frightened of falling in love
I've been there before
And I'm pretty sure
This heart has had more than enough
(verse)
I'm tired of cryin' and tired of tryin'
I hope you can see where it's at
I really don't mind if you help pass some time
Let's try to just leave it at that
I no longer choose to play games I can lose
Cause each time I lost I lost hard
I play what I feel, I shuffle and deal
Now you're here cuttin' the cards
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
But, baby, I'm tempted this time
But deep down inside of me I'm...
(repeat chorus)
