Lyrics

Matinee
copyright 2005 by Bobby Lightfoot/boatsongs/BMI/all rights reserved

Don?t know where to go
But I?m gonna run away
Don?t know where it is
But I?m gonna find it anyway?
Gonna skip the matinee?

All the little girls
Wonder in their upturned faces
All the little boys
Want to to tie their own shoelaces
As the lights fade away?
Gonna skip the matinee?

Because you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like the curtain might catch me crying?

When I was a child
Mother took me to a movie
Starring her and Dad
All about the art of losing gracefully?
Gonna miss the passion play?

Because you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like the curtain might catch me crying?

-repeat chorus-
