And it´s hard to win when you always lose
Because the nightspots spend your spirit
Beat your head against the wall
Two dead ends and you´ve still got to choose

You know the bartenders
They all know my name
And they catch me when I´m pulling up lame
And I´m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead

You know the ladies I´ve been seeing off and on
Well they spend your love and then they´re gone
You can´t be lovin´ someone who is savage and cruel
Take your love and then they leave on out of town
No they do

Well now fallin´ in love is such a breeze
But its standin´ up that´s so hard for me
I wanna squeeze you but I´m scared to death I´d break your back
You know your perfume
Well it won´t let me be

You know the bartenders all know my name
And they catch me when I´m pulling up lame
And I´m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead

Come on baby
Let your love light shine
Gotta bury me inside of your fire
Because your eyes are ´nough to blind me
You´re like a-looking at the sun
You gotta whisper tell me I´m the one
Come on and whisper tell me I´m the one
Gotta whisper tell me I´m the one
Come on and whisper tell me I´m the one
