Songtext Without a doubt Split Enz

Without a doubt

Live for the day, when I'm left here on my own

With no-one to betray, it's no wonder I prefer to be

A castaway, who finds a friendly shore

When you have yourself a friend

Then you have yourself a foe

My right to defend, yours to scatter with one blow

My defences, I'm defenceless

Here in the dark, I guess a few fuses have blown

The bite's back in the bark, and the garden's overgrown
I'm in a right mess, and there's a tightness in my heart

OH WHY, DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GO AWAY....

Like a fly in the ointment, love makes my flesh creep

Love gets me hot and bothered
It's just a reward I never reap

And I'm lying on the lawn babe, hot sun overhead

Waiting for the breath of inspiration to carry me away instead

And without a doubt, without a doubt
I'm working for precious little, I'm playing the 2nd fiddle
I've been living on broken promises, living on guarantees

Sometimes at night when the moon is bright

You can see me down on my knees
I'm still looking for those home truths

An offer I can't refuse, A leap in the dark

A touch and go I got nothing left to lose

But without a doubt, without a doubt (doubtless)
I'm learning, back where I started
I'm learning, I'm broken hearted but without a doubt

Without a doubt (doubtless)
I'm working for precious little, I'm playing the 2nd fiddle

Without a doubt, but without a doubt (doubtless)
I'm learning, back where I started
I'm learning, I'm broken hearted but without a doubt

Live for the day, when I'm left here on my own

With no-one to betray, it's no wonder I prefer to be

A castaway, who finds a friendly shore

Washed up on the rocks, in the calm after the storm

I can run amok, every day's a high day and

A holiday, my hideaway I got no reason left to stay

OH WHY, DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO GO AWAY
