Cold nights in the city can turn a heart to stone
I'm still cryin' and you know why I'm out here on my own

Being here without you, it takes up all my time
I'm tryin' to forget you, but you're still on my mind

And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down

I'm in a crowd of people, on this uneasy street
I'm walking blind 'til I can't see what your love done to me

And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down

I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down

{Instrumental}

Just a temporary pleasure, caused a never-ending pain
But if love could last forever, then we're sure to love again, love again

And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down
{Instrumental}

I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down

I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
You know I'm here on shaky ground, I don't wanna - I don't wanna tear you down
