I feel sorry for you, 'cause you could be wrong
To be so cruel to a man is not to be strong
You're so cold on the inside, so smooth in the flesh
I'm in a no-win situation if I let you take the rest

But you can't talk down, when we're both on the ground
And you can't mess me up, 'cause I won't be around

That's what it's all about. We'll figure all this out

I'd send you a letter, so that you know
You can take me to the station if you don't believe I'll go
I hear you talk about the future; just remind me of the past
You've got a funny sense of humour if I'm supposed to laugh

But you can't talk down, when we're both on the ground
And you can't mess me up, 'cause I won't be around

That's what it's all about. We'll figure all this out

I won't be the one who has to hurt you, who has to do it wrong
The one who's driving to the point there's no escaping from
'Cause you'll be killing me, if I'm not killing you

But you can't talk down, when we're both on the ground
And you can't mess me up, 'cause I won't be around

That's what it's all about
We'll figure all this out

No you can't talk down, when we're both on the ground
And you can't mess me up, 'cause I won't be around
But you can't talk down, when we're both on the ground
And you can't mess me up, 'cause I won't be around
No you can't talk down, when we're both on the ground
And you can't mess me up, 'cause I won't be around
