A Crippling Blow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here in my house, time is sweet
I hear the children playing in the street
Out where the hot winds blowing gentle breeze

[Chorus]
I don't need time, I don't need time
No, I can get by myself
I don't need time, I don't know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that I
Will never be calm and well
But I can get by in the meantime by myself

[Verse 2]
He's a real winner, all over they say
Sleeping in the lazy afternoon
A danger to their daughters they assume

[Chorus]
I don't need time, I don't need time
No, I can get by myself
I don't need time, I don't know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that I
Will never be calm and well
But I can get by in the meantime by myself
[Bridge]
Deal me a crippling blow
Steal me from under my clothes
A crippling blow

[Chorus]
I don't need time, I don't need time
No, I can get by myself
I don't need time, I don't know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that I
Will never be calm and well
But I can get by in the meantime by myself
Lord I can get by in the meantime by myself

[Outro]
I can get by in the meantime by myself

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
