Close the Door - Teddy Pendergrass

I can't escape it I'm never gonna make it out of this in time I guess that's just fine I'm not there quite yet My thoughts, such a mess Like a little boy What you runnin' for? Run at the door Anyone home? Have I lost it all? Struck me like a chord I'm an ugly boy Holdin' out the night Lonely after light You begged me not to go Sinkin' like a stone Use me like an oar And get yourself to shore A bang at the door Anyone home? That's just what they do Right in front of you Like a cannonball Slammin' through your wall In their face, I saw What they're fightin' for I can't escape it I'm never gonna make it 'til the end, I guess Struck me like a chord I'm an ugly boy Holdin' out the night Lonely after light Bangin' on the door I don't wanna know Sinkin' like a stone So use me like an oar Hard to fight what I can't see Not tryna build no dynasty I can't see beyond this wall But we lost this game So many times before Lying on the cold floor I'll be waiting, yeah I'll be waiting from the other side Waiting for the tide to rise Lying on the cold floor I'll be waiting, yeah I'll be waiting from the other side Waiting for the tide to rise

I'm close to the top now And that's what I want, so I take it all I look at the clock now And this is my moment, this is my time If you want to fight now Yes, I got the guns and I've got the bombs So don't cry for me now, yeah, don't cry for me now So stay the fuck away from me now My baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy, crazy My baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy, crazy now Yeah, eh, eh, eh, eh-ya, cha! I was so afraid of myself But now that I'm grown and I'm not alone I stand in the light now I been facing the dark, maybe for too long But my mama told me, "My son, go outside and take what is yours" So don't cry for me now, yeah, don't cry for me now So stay the fuck away from me now My baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy, crazy My baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy, crazy now (Wo-ow) But baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy, crazy Baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy I said, baby, you're not my baby You're not my lady And you're driving me crazy, crazy But baby, you're not my lady You're not my baby And you're driving me crazy, crazy Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy Said you're driving me crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy I said you're driving me crazy

In the heat of the fight, I walked away Ignorin' words that you were sayin' Tryna make me stay I said, "This time I've had enough" And you've called a hundred times But I'm not picking up 'Cause I'm so mad, I might tell you that it's over But if you look a little closer I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door Me and my stupid pride are sittin' here alone Goin' through the photographs, starin' at the phone I keep goin' back over things we both said And I remember the slamming door And all the things that I misread Oh, babe, if you know everything Tell me why you couldn't see When I left, I wanted you to chase after me, yeah I said, "Leave", but all I really want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door And I'll scream out the window I can't even look at you I don't need you but I do, I do, I do I say, "There's nothing you can say To make this right again, I mean it, I mean it" But what I mean is I said, "Leave", but, baby, all I want is you To stand outside my window, throwin' pebbles Screamin', "I'm in love with you" Wait there in the pourin' rain, comin' back for more And don't you leave, 'cause I know All I need is on the other side of the door With your face and the beautiful eyes And the conversation with the little white lies And the faded picture of a beautiful night You carried me from your car up the stairs And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress After everything I must confess, I need you
