we've been here before
like a book i read
in the hall that leads to your door
and my words hang
in the air
like the smoke
when i spoke to you
and i said before you come to bed
take off your ring
my heart's on a thread
and love's on a shoestring
and i've been down to the wire
that's the way my luck has been
but i can't put out this fire
so let the loser win
i still look for your face
on the old dirt road
i used to walk to your place
it's good to know that
you're doing well
did you hear?
was it clear to you?
when i said before you come to bed
take off your ring
my heart's on a thread
and love's on a shoestring
and when i look in your eyes
i can hear them sing
there are no ties
with love on a shoestring
(Guitar Solo)
and i said before you come to bed
take off your ring
my heart is on a thread
and love's on a shoestring
and when i look in your eyes
i can hear them sing
there are no ties
with love on a shoestring
there are no ties
with love on a shoestring
like a book i read
in the hall that leads to your door
and my words hang
in the air
like the smoke
when i spoke to you
and i said before you come to bed
take off your ring
my heart's on a thread
and love's on a shoestring
and i've been down to the wire
that's the way my luck has been
but i can't put out this fire
so let the loser win
i still look for your face
