She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes Everybody who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine I should have known I was wrong When I left her for a life in pity but They say you never miss the water til it's gone Guess I failed to love you And you're taking it out tonight How am I supposed to leave you now When you're looking like that I can't believe what I just gave away Now I can't take it back I don't want to get lost I don't want to live my life without you How am I supposed to walk on by When you're looking like that She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll Want to squeeze her real tight get out of this place If only I could take control But she's out of my reach forever And just a week ago she lied next to me It's so ironic how I had to lose just to see That I failed to love you And you're taking it out tonight I don't want to forget you I don't even want to try How am I supposed to walk on by When you're looking like that
