Love me while you watch the time And if I falter or lose my rhyme You will drop me like a useless dime Cos you ain't no friend of mine , no no Steer me wrong and drop me off From a swandive to a bellyflop The shallow waters that flow in your heart Will forever keep us apart You never cease to amaze me Sometimes I just dont understand ,no,no The chances you took to play your hand But you never took my love when it was here My hearts been through it a thousand times Like a fair fruit upon the vine The shiny promise that fades with time But the seeds are sown and the hope defined Such a sad way to lose someone (oh yes it is) To live by "better said than done" The song you dance , then hide your gun From those who buy the silver from your tongue And you never cease to amaze me Sometimes I just dont understand (I dont) The chances you took to play your hand But you never took my love when it was here The song you dance ,then hide your gun From those who buy the silver from your tongue
