Little Breakdowns

Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I shouldn't be missin' you;
It makes no sense.
Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,
An' goin' dancin'.
I'm havin' one of those,
One of those days;
God knows I've had a few,
But I know it's temporary.

I got a good life now,
But every once in a while,
A little breakdown.
It ain't no good thing,
I'll be drivin' along,
An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,
Yeah, I have to stop,
'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.
I have a little breakdown.

I think it's over an' done;
Then I lose control.
But when you're givin' your heart to someone,
It's inevitable.
The first thing you never learn about love,
Is that you never really let it go.
I'm a walkin' contradiction.
Yeah.

I got a good life now,
But every once in a while,
A little breakdown.
It ain't no big thing,
I'll be drivin' along,
An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,
Yeah, I have to stop,
'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.
I have a little breakdown, yeah.

Breakdown.
I have a little breakdown, yeah.
I lose sleep, but hey,
I can always catch up the next day.
A few tears:
Well everyone needs a good cry now an' then,
Anyway.

Yeah, I got a good life now,
But every once in a while,
A little breakdown.
It ain't no big thing,
I'll be drivin' along,
An' hear stories to sing an' get lost,
Yeah, I have to stop,
'Cause I'll get all caught up in the sad.
I have a little breakdown.
Yeah, a little breakdown.

Oh, I shouldn't be missin' you;
It makes no sense.
Should be wearin' "I'm-over-you" boots,
An' goin' dancin'.
Oh yeah.
