If you ever feel the time
To drop me a loving line
Maybe you should just think twice
I don't wait around on your advice

You tell me I can go this far
But no more
Try to show me heaven and then
Slam the door

You offer shelter at a price
Much too dear
And your kind of love's
The kind that soon disappears

So don't brag how you have changed
And everything's been rearranged
I thought all that was over and done
But I still get the same from each and everyone

Being kind is just a way to keep me
Under your thumb
And I can cry because that's something
We've always done

You tell me I'm free of the past now
And all those lies
Then offer me the same thing in
A different guise

You tell me I can go this far
But no more
Try to show me heaven and then
Slam the door

You offer shelter at a price
Much too dear
And your kind of love's
The kind that soon disappears
