You’re lookin’ for another, somebody who knows your rules
A brand new kind of lover, a leader who follows
He’ll be your dad and mother, and always agree with you
“why do they all run away?”
Something always happens, right after it all begins
He falls into your trappings, you find yourself winning
So, eve competes with adam, when adam can never win
“why do they all run away?”
“why doesn’t love ever stay?”
It was only one apple
Just on taste of honey
Suddenly you’re on your own
And it’s still about an apple
But now we call it money
Guaranteed – nobody home
Every new beginning, you start with the same old rules
A game you’ll soon be winning, you’re the only one playing
Your love is only fitting, into those same old shoes
“why do they all run away?”
We all can see you coming, lookin’ for someone new
Talkin’ ‘bout good lovin’, and takin’ those chances
You live to rise above it, and hold on to yesterday
“why do they all run away?”
“why doesn’t love ever stay?”
(report chorus)
(bridge)
She’s gonna’ have her way
-- all gold, all jewels, all win, no lose
Or someone’s gonna’ pay
-- all old, all fools, too thin, new rules
There’s nothin’ you can say
-- she needs, to live, you give, no news
You’re livin’ yesterday
-- go up, go down, do what, she’ll choose
It only takes one bite
-- she moves, so smooth, so soon, no groove
Just one turn to the right
-- she fakes, she takes, don’t make, mistakes
So soon you’re taking flight
-- no snakes, no brakes, high rates, all skate
And leaving paradise
-- no bets, no threats, it gets, away
