Woman, you say I'm the one
I seem to be the one that you're running from
So I'm knocking on your door
You got me dancing on the ceilings
Got me crawlin' 'cross the floors
And I'm crying, head in my hands
But they're tired from the reaching
So they're seeking drier land
And my heart is on my sleeve
'Cause I promised not to lie and I promised not to leave
Gotta find a way out of my head
Hotel room so cold at night
Like tryin' to make love in a stranger's bed
Like two prize fighters givin' up their fight
This one way street is blocking my view
I've been walking 'gainst traffic and draggin' my feet
This dead end alley might work for you
But a stretch of clean highway is what I need and...
Gotta find a way out this room
But there's a door marked danger and the walls are closing in
I'm like a soldier in an unmarked tomb
I'm like a saint who committed one last sin
You're not taking what I've got to give
So I'll just put it in my pocket, I'll just put it away now
I hope we have more than this life to live
'Cause I'm saving this love for a rainy day well...
Tell me woman do you want to be mine
Or am I just a game that you're playing to pass the time
I've got places to go
I've got people I need to see
I've got a life to start living and a soul to set free
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
I've got a life to start living and a soul to set free
So I gotta find my way back home
City streets got me confused
I think I need to spend some time alone
'Cause I'm feeling weak, feeling weak and clueless
But I'm stopped at a stoplight and what do I see
I see this sign that looks kind of familiar
I pull up close enough so that I can read it
And it says, "This'll make you stronger if it doesn't kill ya' Doria."
Woman, you know I'm the one
So stop with all your games, come and get ya' some
And I'm knocking down your door
Still you got me dancing on the ceilings
Got me crawlin' 'cross your floors
And I'm crying, head in my hands
But they're tired from the reaching
So they're seeking drier land
But my heart is off my sleeve
'Cause, no, I never lied but, yes, I've got to leave
