Don't Make the Grade

from The Real Thing by Emma Forman

/

lyrics

Does the sentence start it's with a heavy heart?
Does the sentence contain an exclamation mark?
What exactly are you trying to say?
I know there is something you are trying hard to spit out?
I know you have been trying but the words just won't come out
I know you're tripping on your words and falling down
I know it needs to be said, said out loud

I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade
Cos I can see it in you eyes you kinda feel betrayed
I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade
Cos I can see it in your eyes that you're not in love with me

Oh it is such an indignity
Oh is this something I really need to hear?
If I close my eyes will it go away?
Or is it behaviour like that caused all the pain?

I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade
Cos I can see it in you eyes you kinda feel betrayed
I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade
Cos I can see it in your eyes that you're not in love with me
I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade
Cos I can see it in you eyes you kinda feel betrayed
I guess what you are trying to say is I don't make the grade
Cos I can see it in your eyes that you're not in love with me
I don't make the grade
