| I feel sorry for you, 'cause you could be wrong
 | 
| To be so cruel to a man is not to be strong
 | 
| You’re so cold on the inside, so smooth in the flesh
 | 
| I’m in a no-win situation if I let you take the rest
 | 
| But you can’t talk down, when we’re both on the ground
 | 
| And you can’t mess me up, 'cause I won’t be around
 | 
| That’s what it’s all about. | 
| We’ll figure all this out
 | 
| I’d send you a letter, so that you know
 | 
| You can take me to the station if you don’t believe I’ll go
 | 
| I hear you talk about the future; | 
| just remind me of the past
 | 
| You’ve got a funny sense of humour if I’m supposed to laugh
 | 
| But you can’t talk down, when we’re both on the ground
 | 
| And you can’t mess me up, 'cause I won’t be around
 | 
| That’s what it’s all about. | 
| We’ll figure all this out
 | 
| I won’t be the one who has to hurt you, who has to do it wrong
 | 
| The one who’s driving to the point there’s no escaping from
 | 
| 'Cause you’ll be killing me, if I’m not killing you
 | 
| But you can’t talk down, when we’re both on the ground
 | 
| And you can’t mess me up, 'cause I won’t be around
 | 
| That’s what it’s all about. | 
| We’ll figure all this out etc…
 | 
| No you can’t talk down, when we’re both on the ground
 | 
| And you can’t mess me up, 'cause I won’t be around
 | 
| But you can’t talk down, when we’re both on the ground
 | 
| And you can’t mess me up, 'cause I won’t be around
 | 
| No you can’t talk down, when we’re both on the ground
 | 
| And you can’t mess me up, 'cause I won’t be around |
