I often wonder how the Fillmore Shuffle
Caught us both in the very same year.
I guess we were foolish, but so glad to do it
Face down in the hallway, but never any tears.
The first one to go was sweet William.
I guess we should, we should have been warned
But it felt so good to be quittin`
We thought we were causing nobody any harm
So we kept lying to each other saying
I`m gonna quit it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes
I`ll quit it tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes
Tomorrow never comes
And I guess our life reads just a novel
Though we both keep hoping for so much more.
We keep on tryin` to understand
Why we keep on livin`, livin` this way.
Tryin` to keep thinks together is the reason I stay.
And she says to me, Baby, honey, I feel so bad.
Then she goes out walkin` and she stays out so late
And I know where she`s goin`, to myself, I say...
Call it the Fillmore Shuffle
