i been waiting here for so long
counting all the holes in my shoes
you´ve been singing such a different song
i ain´t gonna punch you in the eye
just ´cause you tell a crazy lie

even so...
i knew how you would go...
i´m always the last to know you´re trying to love me too

you´ve been wasting so much time away
never seem to get through to you
you´ve been lazy now it´s time to pay
who´s gonna be the one to say who´s gonna make the move today

i won´t stand by...
asking you questions why...
not while you say you´re too shy to look me in the eye...

if you were mine
i´d never need to wipe the smile from my face
it ain´t no crime
what we´d achieve if we stayed in this place

you said once i had a hold on you
and i believed you first time around
but now you don´t know what you´re trying to do
so when you turn around and realise
i´m not around to dry your eyes

then you´ll know...
it´s crazy to let me go...
you´re always the last to know
i´m trying to love you too...

if you were mine
i´d never need to wipe the smile from my face
it ain´t no crime
what we´d achieve if we stayed in this place

if you kept your promise baby
everything would stay the same
but i can´t shake the feeling you´re searching maybe
for another love to blame

if you were mine
i´d never need to wipe the smile from my face
it ain´t no crime
what we´d achieve if we stayed in this place
