Don't choose me because I am faithful.
|
Don't choose me because I am kind.
|
If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking.
|
Take me for longing or leave me behind.
|
|
I would be, for you, a fire in a rainbow,
|
I would be, for you, an opening door.
|
Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom.
|
Try to forget them or love me no more.
|
|
I'm not asking your heart to believe me.
|
I'm not asking for promise or pledge.
|
Whatever the answer, it's yes that's the question.
|
I am the fool dancin' over the edge.
|
|
Don't choose me because I am faithful.
|
Don't choose me because I am kind.
|
If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking.
|
Take me for longing or leave me behind.
