lyrics

I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU ABOUT HER AND TRIED TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT ANYONE ELSE WOULD SAY THE SAME
ONLY A NEWBORN LOVER COULD ACT SO BLIND YOU’VE ONLY GOT YOURSELF TO BLAME
IT’S A PITY YOU’RE LEARNING YOUR LESSONS THE HARD WAY
ALL THIS TIME SHE’S BEEN KEEPING YOU GUESSING I KNOW
IF YOU’RE LYING AWAKE TONIGHT OR WAITING BY THE PHONE
SHE’S GONNA BE LATE SHE’S TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME
I REMEMBER THE DAY SHE TOLD ME BABY LOVE’S A GAME
NOBODY’S GONNA TIE ME DOWN
NOTHING ON EARTH CAN HOLD ME WHEN LIFE’S SO TAME
IT’S BETTER TO SWIM THAN SINK AND DROWN
IT’S A PITY YOU’RE LEARNING YOUR LESSONS THE HARD WAY
ALL THIS TIME SHE’S BEEN KEEPING YOU GUESSING I KNOW
IF YOU’RE LYING AWAKE TONIGHT OR WAITING BY THE PHONE
SHE’S GONNA BE LATE SHE’S TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME
SHE WRAPS YOU ‘ROUND HER LITTLE FINGER SHE WEARS YOU LIKE A RING
BUT NOW SHE NEEDS TO FEEL HER FREEDOM YOUR LOVE DON’T MEAN A THING
IT’S A PITY YOU’RE LEARNING YOUR LESSONS THE HARD WAY
ALL THIS TIME SHE’S BEEN KEEPING YOU GUESSING I KNOW
IF YOU’RE LYING AWAKE TONIGHT OR WAITING BY THE PHONE
SHE’S GONNA BE LATE SHE’S TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME
