Loving You Is A Dirty Job
Girl:
When the sky is falling and youre looking round for somewhere to hide
Did you ever call out to someone
Did you ever call out to me, Ive never been gone-
Ive been right here by your side
There aint nothin but clouds
There aint nothin but clouds in your eyes
Why dont you believe it when you finally found the truth
Youve been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
Why dont you stop tearing up everyone you need the most
Youre so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close
I cant explain it away
It doesnt make any sense
To know what its like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesnt matter baby
Loving yous a dirty job
But somebodys gotta do it
Boy:
There were times when wed never fake it
There were times when wed always make it
There were times when wed take it to the limit
And wed never, never, ever leave each other alone
We were flesh and blood and bone
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
(alt/ same)
Both:
There were times when we took our chances
There were times we were damn good dancers
There were times when we heard all the answers
In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll
I can see right through your soul
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
Boy:
If your fears could only be forgotten
We could pull all of the barriers down
Would you follow your dreams desire
Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire
Lets just peel out of this town
Both:
Its been nothing but dreams
Its been nothing but dreams until now
Boy:
Youre never gonna see it
Both:
You got your head stuck in the sand
Boy:
Its the land of the free and easy street
Girl:
Its the home of the damned
Boy:
Youre never gonna see it
Both:
You better open up your eyes
Girl:
Youre the only one whos left-
Both:
Whos gonna believe all your lies
Boy:
I cant explain it away
It doesnt make any sense
Both:
To know what its like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesnt matter baby
Girl:
Loving yous a dirty job
But somebodys gotta do it
Boy:
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we cant stop missing
There were times that wed lay in bed and listen
Both:
To the pounding, pounding chorus of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
Girl:
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
Boy:
There were times we extinguished every fire
Both:
That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive
From the heavens on down to the dives
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
There were times we lost it all we lost it all
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
Both:
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we cant stop missing
There were times that wed lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding chorus of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
