She says her mind is made up.
|
She's fought the feelin's long enough.
|
She can't find love or herself in her heart.
|
Says: "We got together way too young."
|
An' then there's me here still in love,
|
Watchin' the ties that bind us fallin' apart.
|
|
First she asks for freedom an' she says that she's leavin'.
|
I say no 'cause I need her, then down comes the hammer.
|
When I can't take her, I say I'll sign the papers.
|
She cries an' she won't take "Yes" for an answer:
|
How am I supposed to choose,
|
When it's heads she wins, tails I lose.
|
Yeah.
|
|
She bought some little dresses an' got a big tattoo.
|
Says I don't understand what she's goin' through:
|
Maybe middle-age crazy or just tired of us.
|
An' maybe I'm foolish tryin' to make it work,
|
But I made this promise: "For better or worse",
|
An' I'd do anything to make her happy, if I just knew what it was.

|
I've worked so hard, (He's worked so hard.)
|
Tried so long:
|
It's like everything I do is wrong.

|
|
Either way, I lose, oh.
