Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, Yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want, Yeah
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
And she will be loved
She will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Yeah
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
And she will be loved
She will be loved
You build me up
You knock me down
Provoke a smile
And make me frown
You are the queen of runaround
You know it's true
You chew me up
And spit me out
Enjoy the taste
I leave in your mouth
You look at me
I look at you
Neither of us know what to do
There may not
Be another way to your heart
So I guess I'd better find a new way in
I shiver when I hear your name
Think about you but it's not the same
I won't be satisfied til I'm under your skin
Immobilized by the thought of you
Paralyzed by the sight of you
Hypnotized by the words you say
Not true but I believe anyway
So come to bed It's getting late
There's no more time for us to waste
Remember how my body tastes
You feel your heart begin to race
Hanging 'round downtown by myself
And I had so much time to sit and think about myself
And then there she was like double cherry pie
Yeah, there she was like disco Super Fly
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
See, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I've had too much caffeine and I was thinkin' 'bout myself
And then there she was in a platform double suede
There she was like disco lemonade
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
See, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
See, mama, this surely is a dream, dig it
This surely is a dream, yeah
See, mama, this must be my dream
What am I supposed to do with this time
It tears so many holes, I stay afloat but I'm
Feel out of control, so petrified
I'm petrified
What am I supposed to do to get by
Did I loose everything I need to survive
Cause it's 4am and the sweats sets in
Did you get my message, did it send
Or did you just get on with your life, oh
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling when I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around and runaway, runaway
What am I supposed to do with these clothes
It's my twisted way of keep you close
I'm a nervous wreck, I'm a broken man
Did you get my message, did it send
Or do you get along on your own, oh
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling when I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around and runaway, runaway
And it breaks me down when I see your face
You look so different but you feel the same
And I don't not understand, I cannot comprehend
The chills your body sends, why did it have to end
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
I have this feeling that I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around and runaway, runaway
I'm taking time to thinking I
Don't think it's fair for us to
Turn around and say goodbye
And I have this feeling that I
Finally find the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around and runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Turn around and runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
But I can

Man, it's been a long day
Stuck thinking 'bout it driving on the freeway
Wondering if I really tried everything I could
Not knowing if I should try a little harder
Chorus:
Ooh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread
I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
I'm so sad, sad
Man, it's been a long night
Just sitting here trying not to look back
Still looking at the road we never drove on
And wondering if the one I chose was the right one
Chorus:
Ooh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread
I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
I'm so sad, sad
So sad, so sad
Chorus:
Ooh, but I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess that I'm only holding on by a thin, thin thread
I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
And I'm kicking the dirt cause I never gave you
The things that you needed to have
I'm so sad, sad
And I'm kicking the curb cause you never heard
The words that you needed so bad
I'm so sad, so sad
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change i've spent on you
Where are the times gone baby
It's all wrong, we're at the place we made for two
Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me
You said it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And then that time that you wasted
All of our bridges burnt down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now i'm paralyzed
Still stucked in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change i've spent on you
Where are the times gone baby
It's all wrong, we're at the place we made for two
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of it
One more stupid love song i'll be safe
You turned your back on tomorrow
Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But just gave it away
You can't expect me to be a friend
I don't expect you to care
I know I said it before
But all of our bridges burnt down
I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now i'm paralyzed
Still stucked in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change i've spent on you
Where are the times gone baby
It's all wrong, we're at the place we made for two
If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all those fairytales are full of it
One more stupid love song i'll be safe
How ya feelin?
The day has had its way with both of us
And no, Ive gone out of my way
But I'm not free
From this pain Im reelin
I was a fool to think some day you would come around
But no no no I'm not thinking that way
Cause now I see
You are not what you seem
You are a mystery to me
Sometimes I just wana scream
I think you should just go away cause
Theres no neccesity for you to stay and
Next time you come around my way
Forget it baby your not comin in
Hows your day been?
Cause mine has taken strange and ugly turns
But no no no I feel better today
Cause Im off my knees
You are not what you seem
You are a mystery to me
Sometimes I just wana scream
I think you should just go away cause
Theres no neccesity for you to stay and
Next time you come around my way
Forget it baby your not comin in
Ahot minute for a life of sorrow
No you cant come back tomorrow
Shut my windows, lock my doors
Cause my heart won't be your rag doll anymore
Yeah....
I think you should just go away cause
Theres no neccesity for you to stay and
Next time you come around my way
Forget it baby your not comin in
Ahot minute for a life of sorrow
No you cant come back tomorrow
Shut my windows, lock my doors
Cause my heart won't be your rag doll anymore
whoa....
Cause my heart wont be your Rag Doll anymore
He's waiting down at the corner under the streetlight
He's only following orders 'til midnight
And then he'll sneak back home to his wife,
And his everyday life.
He says he's been at the pub with the boys all the night,
She acts as if she don't know says its alright.
But he knows she don't believe him.
On and on, on and on.
[chorus]
Cause nothing lasts forever,
And nothing lasts forever.
Everything dies eventually,
Cover your eyes if you don't want to see. [x2]
And nothing lasts forever, and nothing last forever
[verse]
This isn't how she thought that her life would be.
When they first met back in '63,
And a future together was all she could see.
All she could see.
He said if you stick with me,
Then you know we'll be alright.
A family for the rest of our lives,
And i'll always be by your side.
And that's when she cried.
On and on, on and on.
[chorus]
Cause nothing lasts forever,
And nothing lasts forever.
Everything dies eventually,
Cover your eyes if you don't want to see. [x2]
And nothing last forever, and nothing last forever
[verse]
So he takes off his tie and he tells another lie,
She only believed it for a minute.
And she dosen't ask why,
She doesn't want to cry.
She only believes it for a minute.
He's walking out the door and into a new life,
He's already got plans with his new wife,
And a house in a new neighborhood.
He says he's been at the pub with the boys all night,
She acts as if she don't know, says its alright.
But he knows she don't believe him,
But she's sick of arguing.
On and on, on and on.
[chorus]
Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing lasts forever

You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war
You and I go rough.
We keep throwing things and slamming the doors
You and I get so damn dysfunctional, we start keeping score
You and I get sick, yeah I know that we can do this no more
But baby there you go again, there you go again
Making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head.
Let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid
Crawling back to you
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
Try to tell you no but my body keeps on telling you yes
Try to tell you stop but your lipstick got me so out of breath
I'll be waking up in the morning probably hating myself
And I'll be waking up feeling satisfied but guilty as hell
But baby there you go again, there you go again
Making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head.
Let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid
Crawling back to you
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night [3x]
But baby there you go again, there you go again
Making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head.
Let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
Yeah... yeah... yeahhhh
[2x:]
So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one mor
