[Verse 1]
Talking 'cause we know we're fast like a photograph
How often should this one man ask 'til the moment's passed?
You slip out of his bed and into mine
Casual sex always ends in crime
Oh, he'll never love you like I do

[Chorus]
You gotta ask yourself do you want fool's gold
You gotta ask for help, gotta let me know
Oh, oh
Meet me at midnight
Why would you waste your life loving the wrong man?
You need to run, run away
And live to love another day
So meet me at midnight

[Verse 2]
Smoking helps me dull this pain ringing in my brain
Choking on the words you say 'cause you can't relate
I'll be your escape, you just let me know
We'll leave without a trace on the midnight road
'Cause he'll never love you like I do

[Chorus]
You gotta ask yourself do you want fool's gold
You gotta ask for help, gotta let me know
Oh, oh
Meet me at midnight
Why would you waste your life loving the wrong man?
You need to run, run away
And live to love another day
So meet me at midnight

[Bridge]
You know deep down the time is now
I'm standing in front of you
Here is a man so in love with you
You see the signs
Like stars, we shine
He'll never love you like I do

[Chorus]
You gotta ask yourself do you want fool's gold
You gotta ask for help, gotta let me know
Oh, oh
Meet me at midnight
Why would you waste your life loving the wrong man?
You need to run, run away
And live to love another day
So meet me at midnight
