Lyrics

A girl in a torn dress with a boy in a car
Sometimes I think that was easier love, by far
Than you in your nightgown
With your head on the table
But that?s where I?d have you
If I was able

But you, you?re on again, off again
You?ve run off again but I?m on?

Won?t you stay?
You know I never needed anyone
Then you came
And I?d say
That you don?t really need anyone
But I?ll still play

So I?ll keep on trying to pin you down
And you?ll keep on trying to do the same
We?re like two lonely dancers just spinning around
Willing to practice, never taking the stage

And me, I?m up again, down again
I?ve gone down again, but you?re on?

Won?t you stay?
I know you never needed anyone
Then you came
And you better pray
That you don?t really need anyone
If you turn away

But you?ll turn on again, off again,
You?ll run off again, but I?m on?

Fire. It?s the middle of the night
And the time is just right
It just has to be you
So I?ll take you farther
Than you thought you could go
With just a telephone and a memory
And though I?ll see you in a couple of days
It?ll be a different way than we?d want it to be
Sure love is harder when you don?t have a plan
Don?t know where things stand
Well you?re not going to

But you, you?re turned on again, on again
And me, I?ve come up again
