She knows she’s built and knows how to please  
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees

She’s been lookin’ like a queen in a sailor’s dream.  
And she don’t always say what she really means.

Lighten up while you still can  
don’t even try to understand

You see me now, a veteran, of a thousand psychic wars.  
I’ve been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar.  
And I’m young enough to look at, but far to old to see,  
All the scars are on the inside.  
I’m not sure that there’s anything left of me.

You wallow in the guilt. You wallow in the pain.  
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown  
Got your mind in the gutter, bringing everybody down.  
Complain about the present and blame it on the past  
I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it!

Don’t tell me how to live my life. Don’t tell me how to pray.  
Don’t tell me how to sing my song. Don’t tell me what to say.

I must admit, I can’t explain,  
any of these thoughts racing through my brain,  
it’s true, and baby I’m howlin’ for you.

I’m living for giving the devil his due  
And I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning for you

'Cause your kisses lift me higher  
Like the sweet song of a choir  
And you light my morning sky  
With burning love

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds, and mars,  
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.

In my life there’s been heartache and pain  
I don’t know if I can face it again  
I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far  
To change this lonely life

I thought love was only true in fairy tales  
Meant for someone else but not for me.  
Love was out to get me  
That’s the way it seemed.  
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

</div>

And I think about my loves, well I’ve had a few.  
Well I’m sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too?  
I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf  
But how can you love when you don’t love yourself?  
It was me against the world  
I was sure that I’d win

It’s too late to say you’re sorry. How would I know? Why should I care?

Why can’t you call and say you miss me  
The time we wasted just becomes history  
Why can’t you call and say you need me  
The words you wanna hear deceive me

The phone is ringing and the clock says 4AM  
If it’s your friends well I don’t want to hear from them  
Just leave a number and a message at the tone  
Or you could just go on and leave me alone.

Rikki, don’t lose that number  
It’s the only one you own  
You might use it if you feel better  
When you get home

Long-distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee  
Help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me

She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call  
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
