SHE LOOKS AT YOU FROM ACROSS THE ROOM
AND YOU CAN TELL JUST WHAT SHE'S FEELING.
IT'S IN THE SWAY OF HER HIPS,
AND THE SMILE ON HER LIPS,
THAT SHE KNOWS WILL SEND YOU REELING.
IT'S GONNA BE AS GOOD AS IT EVER WAS,
'CAUSE YOU'RE ADDICTED TO THE THINGS SHE DOES,
AND YOU PRAY THAT IT'LL LAST FOREVER AND A DAY,
BUT, AS WITH EVERYTHING IN LIFE,
IT NEVER STAYS THAT WAY.
SHE MAKES YOU SQUIRM, DOESN'T SAY A THING,
AND YOU CAN FEEL YOUR ANGER GROWING.
IT'S BEEN ONE HELL OF A FIGHT,
SINCE IT STARTED LAST NIGHT,
AND IT SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SLOWING.
IT'S GOTTA BE THE TOUGHEST IT'S EVER BEEN,
AND NEITHER ONE OF YOU ARE GIVING IN,
AND YOU SWEAR IT'S GONNA LAST FOREVER AND A DAY,
BUT, AS WITH EVERYTHING IN LIFE,
IT NEVER STAYS THAT WAY.
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOUR LIFE IS RIGHT NOW,
OR HOW GOOD YOU THINK IT'S BEEN IN THE PAST,
YOU CAN BET WITH EACH BREATH,
THAT THE LORD WILL ALLOW,
WHATEVER IT IS, IT WON'T LAST.
YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO BEND, AND TO COMPROMISE,
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S LOWS OR HIGHS,
'CAUSE YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA LIVE FOREVER AND A DAY,
BUT, AS WITH EVERYTHING IN LIFE,
IT NEVER STAYS THAT WAY.
