I feel sorry for you,
  'Cause you could be wrong
  To be so cruel to a man
  Is not to be strong
  You're so cold on the inside,
  So smooth in the flesh
  I'm in a no-win situation
  If I let you take the rest
  
  But you can't talk down,
  When we're both on the ground
  And you can't mess me up,
  "That's what it's all about.
  We'll figure all this out"
  'Cause I won't be around
  
  I'd send you a letter,
  So that you know
  You can take me to the station
  If you don't believe I'll go
  I hear you talk about the future;
  Just remind me of the past
  You've got a funny sense of humour
  If I'm supposed to laugh
  
  But you can't talk down,
  When we're both on the ground
  And you can't mess me up,
  "That's what it's all about.
  We'll figure all this out"
  'Cause I won't be around
  
  I won't be the one who has to hurt you,
  Who has to do it wrong
  The one who's driving to the point
  There's no escaping from
  'Cause you'll be killing me,
  If I'm not killing you
  
  But you can't talk down,
  When we're both on the ground
  And you can't mess me up,
  "That's what it's all about.
  We'll figure all this out"
  'Cause I won't be around
