Listen Christine
I've been wanting to say something for a while
You're my favourite girl
These are my favourite chords
And I wanna put them both together
By way of explanation
By way of excuse
You see I wanted to leave you with something worthwhile
Something of use
And I know I'm not the easiest guy to get along with
I know I've made a few mistakes,
But I was gonna get around to changing that some day
You know how long these things take
But I want you to know, Christine
Even though there have been other loves in my life besides you
On the night when I left town I was thinking of you
Listen, Christine
I'm not coming back this way again ever
So whatever you do
Do it only for you
And don't make any plans that include me
I know my destination
Is not what you would choose
You see, I'm such an unpredictable
Shakey and loose
But I didn't mean for things to end the way they did
I wouldn't even call it fate.
Sometimes a move is forced upon someone
Before its too late
But I want you to know, Christine
Even though there have been other loves in my life besides you
On the night when I left town I was thinking of you
Yes I want you to know, Christine
Even though there have been other loves in my life besides you
On the night when I left town I was thinking of you
Yes I want you to know, Christine
Even though there have been one or two other loves in my life beside you
On the night when I quietly skipped out of town
I was thinking you
I was thinking you
