Lyrics:

Have a love affair
Have a real good time
Never meet me there
Never tell me why
You left with him
And thought I’d cry

We submit ourselves
To some plan
And you can carry out
Anything
The man you used to love
Now you hate

You can wait in line
Become another suffering man
You can wait in line
Become another suffering man

Tortured by the thought
Of you giving up
Where’s the will to live?
Where’s the strength to love?
There’s so much to say
But I think I’ve said enough

You can wait in line
Become another suffering man
You can wait in line
Become another suffering man

Thanks for noticing all the helpless souls
And showing up today to bring them home
I want you to know
I want you to know
All the love that I can give to you
Won’t ever be enough for you
I want you to know
I want you to know
When the tides will turn
And where the road will bend
And how much to give to a broken man
I want you to know
I want you to know
