Cold nights in the city can turn a heart to stone,
I´m still cryin´ and you know why I´m out here on my own.

Being here without you, it takes up all my time,
I´m tryin´ to forget you, but you´re still on my mind.

And I don´t wanna tear you down, but I´m the only fool around.
You know I´m here on shaky ground, but I don´t wanna tear you down.

I´m in a crowd of people, on this uneasy street,
I´m walking blind ´til I can´t see what your love done to me.

And I don´t wanna tear you down, but I´m the only fool around.
You know I´m here on shaky ground, but I don´t wanna tear you down.

I don´t wanna tear you down, but I´m the only fool around.
You know I´m here on shaky ground, but I don´t wanna tear you down.

[Instrumental]

Just a temporary pleasure, caused a never-ending pain,
But if love could last forever, then we´re sure to love again, love again.

And I don´t wanna tear you down, but I´m the only fool around.
You know I´m here on shaky ground, but I don´t wanna tear you down.

[Instrumental]

I don´t wanna tear you down, but I´m the only fool around.
You know I´m here on shaky ground, but I don´t wanna tear you down.

I don´t wanna tear you down, but I´m the only fool around.
You know I´m here on shaky ground, I don´t wanna - I don´t wanna tear you down.
