lyrics

People ask why I try to get along,
Honey, with you
When all you want to do
Is waste my time
But they're just passersby
And if they only knew
When you're not making me blue
You're making me fly

I know better than to trust you, honey
You know you wanna put the blame on me
I bet my luck and all my money
Only to have you go lame on me
Take a ride on a one trick pony
You only know how to let me down
(You only know how)
You only know how to mess around
(You only know how)
You only know how to break my heart

Since the day we met
My love's a guarantee
The days just feel so empy
When you're not in my life
I'm caught up in the net
And I've got to break free
Cuz if fear the snare
Love is the knife

I know better than to trust you, honey
You know you wanna put the blame on me
I bet my luck and all my money
Only to have you go lame on me
Take a ride on a one trick pony
You only know how to let me down
(You only know how)
You only know how to mess around
(You only know how)
You only know how to break my heart

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Ooo, ooo
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Ooo, ooo, ooo

Some days I feel secure
And your love is true
You chase away the blues
And your kisses are free
But how can I be sure
And put my trust in you
Oh tomorrow brings sorrow
Will you up and leave

I know better than to trust you, honey
You know you wanna put the blame on me
I bet my luck and all my money
Only to have you go lame on me
Take a ride on a one trick pony
You only know how to let me down
(You only know how)
You only know how to mess around
(You only know how)
You only know how to break my heart

I love you
