Lyrics

Getting Mighty Crowded

I'm packing up my memories

And I'm gonna move on outta your heart

I'm turning in my keys

And I'm gonna move on outta your heart

'Cause there ain't room enough for two

In dreams that were made for me and you

I'm telling you, it's getting mighty crowded

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

I'm gonna take these things of mine

And I'm gonna move on outta your life

Stop wasting my time

And i'm gonna move on outta your life

'Cause there ain't room enough for three

In dreams that were made for you and me

So you see, it's getting mighty crowded

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

I'm saving you the trouble of putting me down

Starting on the double, yeah, yeah

I'm gonna shop around

Gonna find another heart

Where I can live all by myself

Gonna find another heart

I don't have to share with anybody else

'Cause you don't treat me like you should

And hanging around this neighborhood is no good

It's getting mighty crowded

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

I'm packing up my memories (It's getting mighty crowded)

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)

Too crowded for me (It's getting mighty crowded)
