“this time will be different”, he claimed
but his old attitude still remained
they go on and go on ’til the fire is gone
and there’s nothing at all to be gained
what do you want me to do?
what do you want me to do?
i’ve tried all my life, but i can’t break through
waiting around for a clue…
’bout what i can do to love you…
tried building the blocks up (ooo, knock knock)
tried winding the clocks up (ooo, tick tock)
and speeding the days up (ooo, rock rock)
they’re the same as today (ooo, same as today)
friends to the end (no way)
no don’t you say that again to me (OK)
tried stirring the pot up (ooo, hot hot)
tried tying the knot up (ooo, got got)
and hiding the room key (ooo, big shot)
but you always break free (ooo, you always break free)
friends to the end (on your knees)
no don’t you say that again to me (baby, please)
what do you want me to do?
what do you want me to do?
i’ve tried all my life, but i can’t break through to you…
save some face and forget her
erase the day that you met her
tear up every letter
it gets better, it gets better, it gets better…
this time all alone feeling blue
why would i waste it on you?
a chunk of my life gone, i’ll start anew
wake up was long overdue
search for a love that is true x 4
