If you feel you have the time
Come and spend a little bit of it here on my mind
I'll help you if I can
I'll be your woman, baby I'll be your man
But don't you do what you always do
And close the door on me
There are riches here and they won't last foreverHide yourself away
And make light of the situation
It's gotta be two way
Or it's never gonna work
Don't do what you say you will
In spite of the conversation
It's got to be today
Or it's never gonna workThe story has no ending
Until you decide you can seize your day
Darkness comes descending
With the booze and a cigarette lighting your way
Don't you do what you always do and ask for company
I've been there myself and I'm not gonna followHide yourself away
And make light of the situation
It's gotta be two way
Or it's never gonna work
Don't do what you say you will
In spite of the conversation
It's got to be today
Or it's never gonna work
Or it's never gonna workDon't go silent
Don't go dark
Realize you can come around to it
In a natural arc
Don't go silent
Don't go dark
Don't fade away
Don't fade awayHide yourself away
And make light of the situation
It's gotta be two way
Or it's never gonna, never gonna, never gonna workNo it's never gonna workHide yourself away
And make light of the situation
It's gotta be two way
Or it's never gonna work
Don't do what you say you will
In spite of the conversation
It's got to be today
Or it's never gonna workOh oh it's never gonna work
No it's never gonna work
