I ask you, please don"t write. I tell you, please don"t call.
You keep me up at night in my memories recalled.
Don"t whistle for me dear like Milay or Bacall,
"Cause I don"t want to hear, to hear from you at all.
I know you hope and pray that someday we"ll be friends.
I"m glad you feel that way, but I can"t make amends.
Is it me or is it you? Well, I guess that all depends,
But when I look at you, I feel like I"ve got the bends.
You gave me everything I needed.
I needed not to have it all
If love"s not a game, I haven"t cheated,
But if it is, God help us all!
Got help us all!
I tried to beat it down. I tried to hold it in.
But it kept gaining ground, that seventh deadly sin.
I tried to carry through, come out the other end,
But all I did was prove that you can"t go home again.
I gave you everything you wanted.
You wanted trophies for the wall.
Love"s not a bauble to be flaunted,
Or if it is, God help us all!
God help us all!
If we don"t cross the line, then we won"t pedal back.
We get along just fine when we don"t interact.
So I ask you, please don"t write. Don"t beg me to come back.
"Cause I won"t treat you right, and, baby, that"s a fact!
I gave you everything you wanted.
You wanted me to take the fall.
If love isn"t dead, then I"m not haunted,
But if it is, God help us all!
God help us!
You gave me everything I needed,
But you had me pinned against the wall.
If love"s not a game, I"m undefeated,
But if it is, God help us all!
God help us all!
There"s nothing left to say.
