I let the porch light burn all night
'Til the early morning light
But you never did come by
And now you're calling me
Just to say you need
A little room to breathe
CHORUS:
(Well) that's a lie you tell yourself so I can't touch you
That's a lie to shut me out but it's just not true
Can't you see you're not foolin' me a bit
Yeah, you can try to tell me you don't care but I know
That's a lie
Well you never will be free
If you let her memory
Get all tangled up with me
I'm sorry for your pain
But I won't take the blame
All women aren't the same
(repeat chorus)
You say you like to be alone
You do just fine all on your own
(repeat chorus)
