All that she wanna do is break my heart
Seems to me we were laughing while apart
Time was waitin’, you took a pile and put me down
Well I’ve some news for you, it’s gonna turn you around
I got no time for those crazy letters
Any games you want to play
‘Cause a love like mine, it’s gonna take some time
You can’t save it for a rainy day

Do you know, do you know, do you know
What I’m trying to say
Love’s not a game
It’s never the same
You’ve got to live your life from day to day

Lonely days are sad it starts me black
Can I get right down, maybe I take you back
