Hey
Give my heart a break
You say it’s you that loves me more
And then you kick and slam your door
Hey
While you’re on your way
I want to thank you for the ride
And pull the thorn out of my side
And call me your baby
I kiss away the tears you cried
And then you go and leave me
Pissed off and alone
It’s all about your sweet thing
Or maybe it’s the devil in your eyes
Yeah, what it takes to make this love survive
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
You crash and burn
As the pages turn
In your black book full of names
And then you thaw your frozen heart
Out in somebody else’s flames
And it’s a low down dirty, dirty shame
Don’t let this love slip through the cracks
I miss your claw marks on my back
And call me your baby
I kissed away the tears you cried
And then you go and leave me
Pissed off and alone
Yeah, it’s all about your sweet thing
Or maybe it’s the devil in your eyes
Yeah, what it takes to make this love survive
Another last goodbye
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I believe I’ve always been in love with you
Though we got caught up in the sway
Never knowing where we left
Been off the hook and out of hand
Sometimes I feel that love is a crime
‘Cause I remember, yeah, the very first time
You call me your baby
I kissed away the tears you cried
And then you go and leave me
Pissed off and alone
It’s all about your sweet thing
Or maybe it’s the devil in your eyes
Yeah, what it takes to make this love survive
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
Another last goodbye
