I need you, but I know that you fool around
You’re the best thing that I have
And it’s breaking me, ‘cause it’s breaking down
Well I loved you before
And you can be sure it’s a hell of a place to be

And you said to me that I won’t get an other change
Well you loved me once, but I loved you twice
And you never listen to my voice
If you’re strong enough, then you’ll never be the second choice

It’s daybreak the sun is rising across the hill
And I’m so afraid to wake
Just in case you might not be laying there still
Well I told you last night
That I’ll get it right, as a lover I’ll be on my knees

And you said to me that I won’t get an other change
Well you loved me once, but I loved you twice
And you never listen to my voice
If you’re strong enough, then you’ll never be the second choice

He’s crying, she’s lying
Hearts aching, souls breaking
Will this be his lucky day
Over and over, her head on his shoulder
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
I need you and I knew that you would let me down
You’re the best thing that I have
And it’s breaking me ‘cause it’s broken down
Well I told you last night
That I’ll get it right, as a lover I’ll be on my knees

And you said to me that I won’t get an other change
Well you loved me once, but I loved you twice
And you never listen to my voice
If you’re strong enough, then you’ll never be the second choice
