Baby I've been around
Had my fair share of run arounds
There ain't nobody for me like you
Save me, I'm sick of in and outs
Up and downs

But I would do them if you asked me to
Lately I'm burning out
But you stuck around
Did more than anybody else could do
Wait for me
I'm getting better now
See good weather now

Behind the clouds I draped in front of me
Baby can't you see there's no other like you
When you leave I'll expect the things you'd always do
Maybe it's a death wish to have become so used to
You and me, you know I need to know that you'll be true
You came at a bad time

I guess any time could be as bad
Just as bad as you make it
Led me back to the light side
I shouldn't say it's bad luck I had
Just a different hand of cards is all
You were too clear to ask

I was used to wrenching words from tight kept mouths
I hadn't known this clarity
You were too good to last
I'll take it quick, console myself to have known the good
I've known the good, I've known the good
Baby can't you see there's no other like you
When you leave I'll expect the things you'd always do
Maybe it's a death wish to have become so used to
You and me, you know I need to know that you'll be true
