|
I met her in a shooting gallery, speeding like a goose |
|
Back when both of us were used to making strangers |
|
She shook me down for all i had and every way but loose |
|
But i was still too juiced to feel the danger |
|
And anyway now, anymore you don't know which is worse |
|
Falling out of love or left behind |
|
I just seen the sweetest dreaming wind up like a curse |
|
Maybe one too many times. |
|
Chorus: |
|
But she said, "i don't want you baby, i just want someone to hold me |
|
I got too much rock and roll to be a wife |
|
I can't live without the lightning and i'm scared of growing older |
|
So i'm bound to keep on running for my life" |
|
I've seen her roll herself into a tight and tiny ball |
|
Like a belly-gunner crouching in a turret |
|
I said, i recognize the symptoms, girl, i got the same disease |
|
I just haven't got a clue to how to cure it |
|
And any way, now, any more, you don't know who to trust |
|
'cause love is wild as lust and just as blind |
|
Anyone who's ever gonna love me - better fool me first |
|
And baby, maybe, i been one too many times. |
|
Chorus: |
|
But she said, "i don't want you baby, i just want someone to hold me |
|
I got too much rock and roll to be a wife |
|
I can't live without the lightning and i'm scared of growing older |
|
So i'm bound to keep on running for my life" |
