You know, some days just start off
You don't know where they're gonna end
What seems like the every day
Takes a sharp bend

Phone call in the dead of night
Friend out on a limb
Can't keep the outside out
And the skin is gonna all fall in

I need to talk to you
I need to hear your voice
Things are coming to a head
I've got no choice

I'm too much on the outside
I need you within
A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do
But it ain't gonna be a nice end

It's a shame you ask the question
It's a shame you ain't here
It's a shame that the lovin' went no where
What started off as laughter
Is getting darker by the day
Comes a time when you know
You ain't gonna walk away
You ain't gonna walk away...

You know when you look down a straight road
It goes to a point
But when you get down there
It's as wide as before
But sometimes for someone
This is not the truth
The further you go
The narrower the road
And it's all down hill from here

It's a shame you ask the question
It's a shame you ain't here
It's a shame that the lovin' went nowhere
What started off as laughter
Is getting darker by the day
Comes a time when you know
You ain't gonna walk away
You ain't gonna walk away

How long lasts forever
How long
How long lasts forever
How long
How long lasts forever
How long
You know, some days just start off
You don't know when they're gonna end
What seems like the everyday
Takes a sharp bend

Phone call in the dead of night
Friend out on a limb
Can't keep the outside out
And the skin is going to all fall in

I need to talk to you
I need to hear your voice
Things are coming to a head
I've got no choice
