I said I seem to remember what love feels like
to be burning away one hour at a time
but unable to give in to my desire
for the fear that I would mess the whole thing up
so I hang in the back and make a fool of myself
just hoping to catch your attention for another smile
or the feeling of having you drag your fingers across my back

oh oh oh oh

I'm hoping that your daddy isn't treating you right
I'm hoping he makes you miserable
that you come runnin to me in a desperate moment
to see that I've been here all along
At the edges of our conversations
I've been telling you just as much for so many years
I'm beginning to think that you
have to know something by now

oh oh oh oh

'cause you ain't stopping me from carrying on
with my playful ways of making a fool of myself
over and over for you baby

I rather enjoy the way that you're letting me into your life
even though you'd be doing me wrong if you're setting me up
for the fall that we know is coming
yes we know it's coming

oh oh oh oh

I continue to let you make a mess of my life
unable to give in to my desires
unable to give up the notion that I should let you go
all I can do is tip my heart at you
over and over and over
knowing that sooner or later there's a chance
that you'll end up at my door in the middle of a lonely night

oh oh oh oh

'cause you ain't stopping me from carrying on
with my playful ways of making a fool of myself
over and over for you baby

I rather enjoy the way that you're letting me into your life
even though you're doing me wrong if you're setting me up
for the fall that we know is coming
yes we know it's coming

If you ever want to pack it all in
why don't you stop on over we can play house baby
I know where to begin

Where we're gonna be after all of this
hell, it's just another week of holding on
with my heart in my hands and my head out the window
and my fierce desire for you - my fierce desire for you

oh oh oh oh


'cause you ain't stopping me from carrying on
with my playful ways of making a fool of myself
over and over for you baby

I rather enjoy the way that you're letting me into your life
even though you'd be doing me wrong if you're setting me up
for the fall that we know is coming
yes we know it's coming
