�Early Winter�

by Gwen Stefani

You know how to get me so low
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can�t fix what you broke

And I always was one for the crying
I always was one for tears
The sun is getting cold and snowing

Chorus
Looks like an early winter for us
An early winter
I need you to turn me over

It�s said the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The season�s escape you

No, I never was one for lying
You lied to me all these years
The sun is getting cold and snowing

(Chorus)

Why do you act so stupid
You know that I�m always right

Looks like an early winter for us
It hurts, and I can�t remember sunlight
An early winter for us
The leaves are changing colour

Starting over and over and over again
It looks like an early winter for us
