Lyrics

Today?s Another Day
© D. Mark Ragg & Brad Davis

You know, I really don?t like to fight
But, I find that bridge way too easy to light
Still I think about you baby.
Yes I think about you baby.
I?m just chilling down, got nothing to do.
My mind keeps coming on back to you.
And I start to think that maybe.
Oh I start to think that maybe.
You and I should try again.
I just can?t quit, there?ll be no end.
My mind?s made up, it?s time for you to say?
Today?s another day.

Rebuilding a bridge, it isn?t easy to do.
That is why I keep on calling you.
Please pick up baby.
Oh, please pick up baby.
I know you?re home, you feel my pain.
You?re driving me nuts, just let me say.
It?s time to make up baby.
Oh, it?s time to make up baby.
You and I should try again.
I just can?t quit, there?ll be no end.
My mind?s made up, it?s time for you to say?
That, today?s another day.

Bridge:
Hey what?s this, the cop knocking on my door.
Restraining order said you don?t want to see me no more.
I think you better know this is far from over.
You?ll think of me every day.
When you see the scratch my key just made
That?s the price of being free from me.
But today?s another day.

Don?t fan those flames, the bridge won?t last.
You know you?re moving to fast.
You know I love you baby.
Oh you know I love you baby.
Stop twisting every word that I say.
Trust me everything will be okay.
I bought you flowers baby.
Oh I bought you flowers baby.
So, You and I should try again.
I just can?t quit, there?ll be no end.
My mind?s made up, it?s time for you to say?
That, today?s another day.
