She's got her lover's soul She lost her radio She's got her memories Her extremities She's driving much too fast She wants to make it last She wrote a song for you She calls it black and blue
Ain't no way to live a lifetime Ain't no way to live at all Ain't no way to live a lifetime Just ain't no way darlin' to live at all
She's sick of being late She knows she's second-rate She wonders if you'll stay And love her anyway She's crawling back again It's such a bitter end She knows she don't belong She screams a children's song
Ain't no way to live a lifetime Ain't no way to live at all Ain't no way to live a lifetime Just ain't no way, darlin' to live at all
And the sun don't shine my way And the moon don't make me dance If you're listening, hear me pray I'd give my hands for just a second chance My plea is not in vain
She lost her lover's soul She lost her radio She's got her memories Her extremities Just let that bad man go She's sweating in the snow No one to call her own Don't call, the truth ain't home
