You call me up on the telephone
You just got to know I sleep alone
You like nothin' better, to hear me plead with you
You like nothin' better, to know I'm still your fool
You crazy bitch, who makes the rules
I've been livin' the lie, livin' your lie
I've been wondering why, wondering why
You like to see me cry
Don't, don't tear me down
Don't, don't tear me down
You said nothin' lasts forever
You were the only one I like to hold
But now you turn to ice, your touch is cold
Now all you like to do is manipulate
When you make love to me, it's just a simulate
I can't take your shit no more, why do I try?
I've been livin' the lie, livin' your lie
I've been wondering why, wondering why
You like to see me cry
Don't, don't tear me down
Don't, don't tear me down
You said nothin' lasts forever, ever
Don't, don't tear me down
Don't, don't tear me down
You said nothin' lasts forever, ever
