I don't like the way he's talking to you honey
He's really not your kind of scene
You must be with him 'cause he showers you with money
But the price you have to pay
Is with you every day
You live

If you were with me I would treat you like a queen
You'd be my ever-present muse
I wouldn't tear you down to build my self esteem
I would throw petals where you lay
And treasure every day
We live

I don't want to sound like I am perfect
But I'd like to think I suit you well
Would you rather have a shot at Heaven
Than to be stuck in a certain Hell
I'd like to tell him so step aside
But with the gang he's got there with him it'd be suicide
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
But I think we'd both feel better
If you just get close to me

I have known you from the time that we were kids
You've always had good common sense
But now I'm asking you to open up your eyelids
And to tell to me to my face
That my concerns are way
Off-base

I don't claim to write the book on romance
But I've learned a lot from past mistakes
And if you think I'm worth another try
You know this time I'd give it all it takes
My life's too short, and I can't waste my time
Trying to convince you that I'll tow the line
So if you'd like I will just let you be
But I think we'd both feel better
If you just get close to me

But I think we'd both feel better
If you just get close to me
