Tristan Prettyman – Madly
 |
     |
Cut from the same singer-songwriter cloth as Jack Johnson and Jill Sobule, Tristan Prettyman applies a warm Carnauba wax to her acoustic California pop, then burnishes it to a deep glow. A troubadour in flip-flops, Prettyman’s sunny take on heartbreak, “Madly,” appears on her second album Hello.
Lyrics to Tristan Prettyman’s “Madly”
I’m not surprised that you still call
I’m not surprised
I’m all surprised that i don’t answer
pick up the phone to call you back
pick up the phone to call you back
ain’t it funny how things work out like that
’cause the time that it takes to open my eyes
is the time that it took me to realize
madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me I’m the only and thats all i need to know.
madly madly madly
if you really love me,
when you see me leavin’ baby, just let me go
well i’ve been good, no i’ve been great
you say you’re in a better place
and honestly, i’m happy for ya
but there’s a tone in my voice that gives away my selfish choice.
can my heart beat any faster?
’cause the time that it takes to pass me by
is the time that it took me to realize
madly madly madly
tell me that you need me
show me I’m the only and thats all i need to know
madly madly madly
if you really love me,
when you see me leavin’ baby, just let me go
we’ll give it up, try to find
what was with us all the time
gotta lose some things, if you’re ever gonna get on by
and who was wrong, who was right
always end up in a fight
i thought i’d crumble, but no I’m fine.
madly madly madly
if you really love me
when you see me leavin’ just let me go
madly madly madly
well tell me that you need me and show me I’m the only and that’s all i need to
know know know know
madly madly madly
if you really love me
when you see me leavin’ baby just let it go-no
madly madly madly
tell me that you want me
when you see me leavin’ baby
just let me go
