Tusk lyrics

Written by Christine McVie.

Could you ever need me
And would you know how

Don't waste our time

Tell me now

All you have to do

Is speak out my name,

And I would come running, anyway

And I said

Could it be me, could it really really be?

Over and over

Don't turn me away

And don't let me down

What can I do

To keep you around

Over and over

Over and over.

Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' thru your fingers
Watchin' how it grows
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
Do you ever wonder
Do you ever hate
Six feet under
Someone who can wait
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about

Written by Christine McVie.

All it took was a special look
And I felt I knew you before
Didn't mean to love you
Didn't think it would work out

But I knew we would be together
And I couldn't wait for more
But what can they say
It's not against the law

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Think about me.

I believe that you really want me

Written by Lindsey Buckingham

Don't know why I have to work
Don't know why I can't play
Turn me off turn me out
But don't turn me away
Save me a place
I'll come running if you love me today

Don't know why I have to go
Don't know why I can't stay
Guess I want to be alone
And I guess I need to be amazed
Save me a place
I'll come running if you love me today

Written by Stevie Nicks.

Wait a minute baby
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire

Drownin', in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
So when you build your house, then call me home

Oooooooo..
And it was just like a great dark wind
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

What makes you think you're the one
Who can laugh without cryin'?
What makes you think you're the one
Who can live without dyin'?
Every little bit
Is there
To see
Every little bit
Of you
And me

What makes you think I'm the one
Who'll be there when you're callin'?
What makes you think I'm the one
Who will catch you when you're fallin'?
Every little bit
Is there

Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test

Every night you do not call
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside

I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

That's all for everyone
That's all for me
Last call for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
I call for everyone
I cry for more
That's all for everyone
Must be just exactly what I need
That's all

I need somewhere to go
That's all
Must be what I need
That's all
I need someone to know
Last call
Exactly what I need

I can't stay
I can't deceive

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

It's not that funny is it
When you don't know what it is
But you can't get enough of it
If's not that funny is it?
Don't blame me!
Please, please, please!
I didn't wanna bleed so
I didn't wanna be this late
So don't make me wait!

It's not that funny is it
No one to turn you on
All your hope is gone
It's not that funny is it?
Don't blame me!

Written by Stevie Nicks.

Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me

And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money

Sometimes
The most beautiful things
The most innocent things
And many of those dreams
Pass us by
Keep passing us by

You feel good
I said it's funny that you understood
I knew you would
When you were good
You were very, very good

I still look up
When you walk in the room
I've the same wide eyes
They tell the story
Try not to reach out
When you turn 'round
And you say hello
And we both pretend

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

Everytime that you make me smile it's the same old way it used to be
And that's enough for me
Everytime that sleep don't come it's the same old pain that used to be
And that's enough for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh
Everytime that sleep don't come it's the same old pain it used to be
And that's enough for me

Written by Christine McVie.

When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to do
Do you have to have me
The way that I want you
I want you

When you look at me with those brown eyes
What do you want to say
And are you just another liar
Will you take me all the way
All the way.

Written by Christine McVie.

Go and do what you want
I know that you have the need
You know that I'll wait, as long as it takes
So go and do what you want
You'll never make me
You'll never make me
You'll never make me cry

I may not mean everything
But I'm happy to have your love
So don't worry baby, I'll be alright
And I'll never make you
I'll never make you
I'll never make you cry.

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

Her lips were waitin'
Her eyes looked sad
The dreams of a lifetime
A year gone bad
The dreams of a lifetime
Told me wrong
Everything is all right
And now it's gone
Don't blame me
Please be strong I know I'm not wrong

Here comes the nightime
Lookin' for a little more
Waitin' on the right time
Somebody outside the door
Don't blame me

Written by Christine McVie.

Honey, honey, honey
Who could be sweeter than you
Honey, honey, honey
Bitter sweet, but what can I do

Lord, it's good to talk to you
Even sweeter than wine
Don't take the love light away
'Cause I'm far away from home

Daddy, all I'm trying to tell you
Lord, I really love you, love you, love you
Honey, honey, honey hi
Honey, honey, honey hi
Honey, honey, honey hi.

Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more

You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
Ooh, I had to stay
Ooh, I had to stay

Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

I've seen so many things that made me wonder
But sometimes it's hard to tell
I said
Take your time
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

They told me that I never would recover
Still some say they knew me well
I said
Stay by my side
But no one said nothin'
I walk a thin line

I said
Please toe the line
But no one was listening
I walk a thin line

Written by Lindsey Buckingham.

Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay?
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?
Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on his throne?

Don't say that you love me!
Just tell me that you want me!

Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!

Written by Christine McVie.

Come on baby, could you ever be
Just a little close to me
Ooh ooh ooh
Could we ever forget tonight?

Come on baby, let's take a stroll
You're feelin' warm so don't be cold
Ooh ooh oh
We'll never forget tonight

What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me.

Come on baby, now don't you be cold
Just remember that love is gold
Ooh ooh

Oh how I wish I was back in Georgia
Maybe I want, to be back in time
I've got a sweet lot of memories, of another place
And a heart full of longing, for another life
Angel, I want to see you
Angel, I want to see you
Angel, I really want to see you
Angel, I want to see you, right now
Oh how I wish, I could see an angel
Deliver me from, this dark dispair
