You're the one who plays with fire in the night, You're the one who scares people with the scythe You're the one to tell Him to ever live by, You're the Lord to shaking all alone (You're alone!) Now you left me out to drop His sight: I wasn't ready for

Deep river woman Lord I'm coming home to you Lord I know she's waiting Just anticipating all my love I spent a night in L.A. Just another chance to see you Just you and I Wanted you to know That my playing days are over

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood Playing a lion being led to a cage

It's such a crying, crying, crying shame It's such a tight game Will it ever stop? It's such a crying, crying crying shame How will this all play out? Both sides out of mind now By now we should know how to communicate instead of coming to blows We're on

Livin', lovin', she's just a woman Come on, babe on the round about, ride on the merry-go-round We all know what your name is, so you better lay your money down With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac

Lay all your love on me Don't go wasting your emotion Don't go sharing your devotion And all I've learned has overturned I wasn't jealous before we met Now every woman I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying

I was laughing, Playing in the streets, I was unknowing; I didn't know my fate. The game of love, but never really showing; I thought that love could wait. I was a young man and sure to go astray. You walked right into my life and told me love would find

It isn't in my blood Sometimes I feel like giving up I need somebody now Help me, it's like the walls are caving in But I just can't No medicine is strong enough Someone help me I'm crawling in my skin Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing

Such a cold blooded love No one knows I'm afraid of your touch But I love it too much You had me on your list The target of your mission All these times you would be missing me Is really guilt admission, baby The game we're playing is addictive

And the lion's roar, the lion's roar Has me evading and hollering for you And I never really knew what to do Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook The fact that they've been blindly deceived By
