As soon as you sound like him 
Give me a call 
When you're so sensitive 
Its a long way to fall 
Whenever you need a home 
I will be there 
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares 
You're just a poor misguided fool 
Who thinks they know what I should do 
A line for me and a line for you 
I lose my right to a point of view 
Whenever you reach for me 
I'll be your guide 
Whenever you need someone
To keep it inside 
Whenever you need a home 
I will be there 
Whenever you're all alone 
And nobody cares 
You're just a poor misguided fool 
Who thinks they know what I should do 
A line for me and a line for you 
I lose my right to a point of view 
I'll be your guide in the morning 
You cover up bullet holes 
As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call 
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall 
You're just a poor misguided fool 
Who thinks they know what I should do 
A line for me and a line for you 
I lose my right to a point of view
