GETTING MIGHTY CROWDED
(Van McCoy)


Betty Everett - 1968
Nick DeCaro - 1974
Elvis Costello - 1980





I'm packing up my memories
And I'm gonna move 
On out of your heart

Turning in my keys
And I'm gonna move
On out of your heart

'Cause there ain't room enough for two
And sharing your heart with someone new
Will never do
(It's getting mighty crowded)
I'm telling you
(It's getting mighty crowded)

Gonna take these dreams of mine
And I'm gonna move
On out of your life

Stop wasting my time
And I'm gonna move
On out of your life

'Cause there ain't room enough for three
In dreams that were made for you and me
And so you see
(It's getting mighty crowded)
It's too crowded for me
(It's getting mighty crowded)

I'm saving you the trouble of putting me down
Start on the double, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna shop around

Find myself another heart 
Where I can live all by myself
Gonna find myself a heart
I don't have to share with nobody else

'Cause you didn't treat me like you should
And sticking around this neighborhood
Is just no good
(It's getting mighty crowded)
It's too crowded for me
(It's getting mighty crowded)
I'm packing up my memories
(It's getting mighty crowded)
It's too crowded for me
(It's getting mighty crowded)
Mmmm-hmmm
(It's getting might crowded)
