She got a lover's soul
She lost her radio
She got her memories, her extremities
She's driving much too fast
She wants to make it last
She wrote a song for you
She calls it black and blue

Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
It just ain't no way darling, to live at all

She's sick of being late
She knows she's second rate
She wonders if you'll stay
And love her anyway
She's crawling back again
It's such a bitter end
She knows she don't belong
She screams a children's song

Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
It just ain't no way darling, to live at all
And the sun don't shine my way
And the moon don't make me dance
If you're listening, hear me pray
I'd give my hands for just a second chance
My plea is not in vain

She lost her lover's soul
She lost her radio
She got her memories, her extremities
Just let that bad man go
She's sweating in the snow
No one to call her own
Don't call, the truth ain't home

Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
It just ain't no way, darling, to live at all
It just ain't no way to live at all

All alone
