I just, I just can't-can't take my mind off you At the rooftop, rooftop It was the third of September, we were hanging up on the roof Was the hot, hot night we were having a barbecue And I said hi, you said hi, baby, that's when I knew It was a night to

I told ya I was troubled You know that I'm no good You had to be a nasty girl and try to play me I could forgive the past, but I never forget it I cheated myself Like I knew I would

I began to understand why God died The air begins to feel a little thin And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game And then I saw him, torch in hand He laid it

I've taken all and I've endured One day it all will fade I don't owe you anything I thought I knew all it took to bother you Every word I said was true that you'll see How could it be I'm the only one who sees your rehearsed insanity I still refuse all

And that was the moment I knew. And it was like slow motion, Standing there in my party dress, In red lipstick, With no one to impress, But there was one thing missing, And I would've been so happy. And they're all laughing, You should've been there,

If I knew one day you would come Now, baby, now, baby, now, baby All the things that I have done Oh, oh I, I was a city boy Riding to danger's where I'd always run above and is hurt I wouldn't have done All the things that I've done Oh, oh, oh, I, I know

Oh, I hate it when that happens to me Dog bites man, man loses girl Well, I once knew a man who was going insane He let love chase him right up a tree It took the police and a fire truck just to bring him back down It made the front page of the paper,

Yeah that's what you are Baby you're a little mind, baby you're a little mind reader You play it off a little shy but baby you're a heart stealer And right here in this car Its like you knew that smile was gonna melt me down Its like you knew those lips

But why did it have to be me? It's only natural That's only natural I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker is it a lesson that I never knew? when I was being what you want me to be? Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by I got to say it and it's hard for me You got me crying like I thought I would never be Love
