When I wake up, well, I know I’m gonna be  
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up next to you  
When I go out, yeah, I know I’m gonna be  
I’m gonna be the man who goes along with you  
If I get drunk, well, I know I’m gonna be  
I’m gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you  
And if I haver, yeah, I know I’m gonna be  
I’m gonna be the man who’s haverin’ to you

But I would walk five hundred miles  
And I would walk five hundred more  
Just to be the man who walked a thousand  
Miles to fall down at your door

Come to my window

You ain’t as green as you are young

</div>

Love hurts, love scars  
Love wounds and marks  
Any heart  
Not tough or strong enough  
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain  
Love is like a cloud  
Holds a lot of rain  
Love hurts  
Ooh, ooh, love hurts

This is the definition of my life  
Lying in bed in the sunlight  
Choking on the vitamin tablet  
The doctor gave in the hope of saving me  
In the hope of saving me

Walked in the corner of the room  
Junkyard fool with eyes of gloom  
I asked him time again  
Take me in and dry the rain  
Take me in and dry the rain

But I set fire to the rain  
Watched it pour as I touched your face  
Well, it burned while I cried  
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name  
Your name

And if I built this fortress around your heart  
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire  
Then let me build a bridge  
For I cannot fill the chasm  
And let me set the battlements on fire

</div>

I don’t mind spending everyday  
Out on the corner in the pouring rain  
Look for the girl with the broken smile  
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved  
And she will be loved

</div>

I don’t mind the sun sometimes  
The images it shows  
I can taste you on my lips  
And smell you in my clothes  
Cinnamon and sugary  
And softly spoken lies  
You never know just how you look  
Through other people’s eyes

I wanna live  
With a cinnamon girl  
I could be happy  
The rest of my life  
With a cinnamon girl

A dreamer of pictures  
I run in the night  
You see us together  
Chasing the moonlight  
My cinnamon girl

Oh, my darling, knock three times  
On the ceiling if you want me  
Twice on the pipe  
If the answer is no

Oh, my sweetness (thump thump thump)  
Means you’ll meet me in the hallway  
Oh-oh, twice on the pipe (clank clank)  
Means you ain’t gonna show

Take off your coat and come inside

Love came callin’ like a warm embrace  
Every doubt and fear erased

Never be the same again, He was callin’  
Love came callin’

</div>

And then you sense a change  
Nothing feels the same  
All your dreams are strange  
Love comes walkin’ in

Some kind of alien  
Reach for the opening  
Then simply pulls a string  
Love comes walkin’ in

You keep sayin’ you’ve got somethin’ for me  
Somethin’ you call love but confess  
You’ve been a’messin’ where you shouldn’t ‘ve been a’messin’  
And now someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walkin’  
And that’s just what they’ll do  
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
