John Prine - Day Is Done Lyrics






Do you like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you like me
Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too

We'll share our things
And have some fun
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

If you tell me
I'll tell you too
And we'll say the things
And do the things that lovers do

We'll keep it to ourselves
We won't hurt no one
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

We'll carve our names
On a tree
Then we'll burn it down
So no one in the world will see

And we'll make love
While we watch the flame
Then we'll walk away
As if we never had no shame

Now we must hide
To be alone
And we can't say
Our sweet things on the telephone

If we can't stop
What we've begun
We should say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

Do you still like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you still like me
Then I think I'm gonna have to still like you

We shared our things
And had some fun
Now we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

Yeah, we'll say goodbye
And go back home while
We still have one
Let's say goodbye and go back home
Now the day is done

    I live in Glasgow Scotland. I will be seeing John in Edinburgh for the first time in September. Literally counting the days. How many times do you think listening to 1 of his songs has changed a persons mood/perspective/understanding, always I think for the better. I’m not lucky enough to have a religious faith, but there are people in this world who fit my moral values & John is one. He just does it in a way that can make you laugh or break your heart. You make my life better. Thanks John

  83. M.... E....

    ""Day Is Done"

    Do you like me?
    Well I hope you do
    Cause if you like me
    Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too

    We'll share our things
    And have some fun
    Then we'll say goodbye
    And go back home when the day is done

    If you tell me
    I'll tell you too
    And we'll say the things
    And do the things that lovers do

    We'll keep it to ourselves
    We won't hurt no one
    Then we'll say goodbye
    And go back home when the day is done

    We'll carve our names
    On a tree
    Then we'll burn it down
    So no one in the world will see

    And we'll make love
    While we watch the flame
    Then we'll walk away
    As if we never had no shame

    Now we must hide
    To be alone
    And we can't say
    Our sweet things on the telephone

    If we can't stop
    What we've begun
    We should say goodbye
    And go back home when the day is done

    Do you still like me?
    Well I hope you do
    Cause if you still like me
    Then I think I'm gonna have to still like you

    We shared our things
    And had some fun
    Now we'll say goodbye
    And go back home when the day is done

    Yeah, we'll say goodbye
    And go back home while
    We still have one
    Let's say goodbye and go back home
    Now the day is done

    I like when shows like My Name Is Earl actually use nice songs.
    Futurama used Little Bird, Little Bird by Elizabeth Mitchell. that was such a nice song too.

    b.... ....

    @***** elizabeths mitchells is such a lovely rendition 

  89. S.... ....

    this was one of my favorite albums when i was little thanks to my dad. im listening to it now and all the songs have so much meaning and are 100x better. such an underrated artist.

    S.... ....

    Shoe0nHead I have been a big fan of yours for awhile. Had no idea you were a John prine fan!

    S.... ....

    same, my dad used to play these songs and listened to these albums relentlessly. Not a fan of your channel but much respect for growing up on Prine lol

    S.... ....

    I grew up listening to john prine with my family as well, all the sad songs make me cry like a baby. I'm gonna be heartbroken when he dies.

    S.... ....

    I totally agree. Seems easy enough to learn too.

  90. J.... C....
