Twelve

Viola, I know that you're going away
I've let you down and I understand
But I've made a decision, and if you will stay
Tomorrow I'll be a new man

It's no

      Wonder that you wanna
      Tune out another
      Reason you've heard be-
      Fore, you've had enough; if
      I've made you worry,
      Sick, sorry I was
      Havin' one more
      Late night, 'n'
      I never in-
      Tended for you to
      Live in this
      Hell;
      Viola, don't go
      I'm counting to twelve 


No more staggering in like the dead
Slurry and blurry and blind
No more wrecked holidays; no more cold bed
I'm leaving that all behind

It's no

      Wonder that you wanna
      Tune out another
      Reason you've heard be-
      Fore, you've had enough; if
      I've made you worry,
      Sick, sorry I was
      Havin' one more
      Late night, 'n'
      I never in-
      Tended for you to
      Live in this
      Hell;
      Viola, don't go
      I'm counting to twelve 


Viola, I'm ready
To make up for my mistakes
Viola, I'll show ya, I love you enough
To do whatever it takes

It's no

      Wonder that you wanna
      Tune out another
      Reason you've heard be-
      Fore, you've had enough; if
      I've made you worry,
      Sick, sorry I was
      Havin' one more
      Late night, 'n'
      I never in-
      Tended for you to
      Live in this
      Hell;
      Viola, don't go
      I'm counting to twelve
