No house on a hill full of life's finer things And I'll tell you right now there's a whole lot that I just can't do So girl, I can't buy you a big diamond ring Oh, but baby, don't think I can't love you I learned the hard way real early in life That

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

And then love me there Love me in whatever way Where you lead me I will go Tell me when I have to go (I can't give up, not now, not then) Where the rose water passes and dry river flows Guess the thorns are on and the bloom I always fear This is a lonely

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart

Mayday, mayday This is an emergency You've gotta let me leave I'm laying here, inches away Mayday, mayday (you are overbearing, I'm not in love but I don't wanna tell you) But you can't hear me call mayday, yeah, yeah You are overbearing, I'm not in love

When the one you love's In love with someone else Don't you know it's torture I don't want you To come round here no more I beg you for mercy You don't know how strong My weakness is Or how much it hurts me

False alarm (hey, hey, hey, hey) False alarm (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey) She loves everybody Can't you tell by the signs? She gets off all the time It's a dark philosophy And it haunts her constantly She's a false alarm Bathroom stalls for the powder nose

(Na, na, na, na, na) Oh oh oh oh I can't tell you but it lasts forever It's just something you feel together How does it feel when it's love When it's love How do I know when it's love Oh when it's love Everybody's lookin' for somethin'

So tell me, why do I keep holding on? Oh, why do I keep staring down the barrel of a loaded gun? Then tell me why can't I just can't let go? Somebody knows, then tell me She said she loved me, all night long I couldn't help but let her string my heart
