Everything But the Girl
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
If you ever feel the time to drop me a loving line Maybe you should just think twice I don't wait around on your advice You tell me I can go this far, but no more Try to show me heaven and then slam the door You offer shelter at a price much too dear And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears So don't brag how you have changed And everything's been rearranged I thought all that was over and done But I still get the same from Each and Everyone Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb And I can cry because that's something we've always done You tell me I'm free of the past now and all those lies Then offer me the same thing in a different guise
