If it was just another woman, I'd know what to do
If it was whiskey or gamblin', I could pull you through
But there's somethin' between us that I can't get around
I can't get over, I can't go under, I can't tear it down
I'm up against the wall, you built so strong and tall
You won't let me in, so I can never win
Cause I'm up against the wall
If it was money, that you needed, I would beg or steal
If you were restless, or reckless, I'd know how you feel
But you keep me at a distance so close and yet so far
I touch your body but you won't let me touch your heart
I'm up against the wall, you built so strong and tall
You won't let me in, so I can never win
Cause I'm up against the wall
