Static tone on the phone I'll be breaking again Must be something better, babe All the names you called out of bed seem to fade To sometime never planned I won't cry for all the hunger in my heart, no I won't cry because I've made it through this far Just coz you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh It really doesn't phase me how you spend your time, ooh-oooh Just coz you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh It really doesn't phase me how you spend your time, ooh-oooh Out of the fire that burns inside me A phoenix is rising If you don't feel that you can love me I won't shoot you down I won't cry for all the hunger in my heart, no I won't cry because I've stumbled through this far Just coz you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh It really doesn't phase me how you spend your time, ooh-oooh Just coz you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh It really doesn't phase me how you spend your time, ooh-oooh I've seen life burn bright, I've seen it shimmer They fade like starlight to a glimmer I've seen life flow by, like a river So full of twilight, dreams that glitter Just coz you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh It really doesn't phase me how you spend your time, ooh-oooh Just coz you're raising the bet and call the shots now on me, ooh It really doesn't phase me how you spend your time, ooh-oooh
