I saw you there with your sexy smile
I was hypnotized as you drove me wild
I gave you my number said call me at home
you tore up the paper and said baby lets go
Cuz your running out of time
this is where I draw the line
and it won't come as a big surprise
when you fill me up with you lies
play your games and see what I care
now I always told you that ain't fair
you don't win or lose honey ain't that a shame
your the only one that there is to blame
Cuz your running out of time
this is where I draw the line
and it won't come as a big surprise
when you look at me with your lieing eyes

I never thought I'd see the danger
of being in love with a perfect stranger
you took my love and then you took my heart
Because you're Wicked
all time of the day now
and you're twisted into my brain now
you walked out on me
now I can't get you out of my mind
you said you'd be my one and only
so how come you never told me
about all the times that you lied
when you said you loved me
Because you're Wicked
all time of the day now
and you're twisted into my brain now
you walked out on me
now I can't get you out of my mind
BRIDGE:
you don't know what you're doing to me
or the way I feel inside...
so let me tell you what you do to me
and the way I feel inside...
Well I feel Wicked
all time of the day now
and I'm twisted into your brain now
you walked out on me
now you can't get me out of your mind
Yeah you walked out on me
now you can't get me out of your mind

Well I just can't seem
to get ya out of my head

all of this will end
Well I'll just hang around and bleed
cuz it always seems to make you cry
but salt in the wound never burned my eyes

how much you've been hurting me
Well I just can't seem

and I'm wondering when
all of this will end
Well I'll just hang around and bleed
cuz it always seems to make you cry
but salt in the wound never burned my eyes

you never let it go
when will you learn to see
how much you've been killing me

It's after midnight
and your still not home
turned out the porch light
and waited by the phone
you built a fortress
where you run and hide
It's just like torture
and it's tearing up my mind
Until the blackout comes at dawn
and your not here with me
if I don't get some sleep
Then the days will keep passing me by
I want to blackout, breakdown,
oh stand up and be me
I want to tear down these walls
oh breakout and be free
Well it was cold out
when you came through the door
you took your clothes off
and danced around the floor
I held you so tight
all through the night
Until the blackout comes at dawn
and your still here with me
if I don't get some sleep
Then the days will keep passing me by
I want to blackout, breakdown,
oh stand up and be me
I want to tear down these walls
oh breakout and be free
It's after midnight

I count the hours as I'm losing time
I stand alone again with my troubled mind
everyday feels like an eternity
I'm hanging on to the edges of my sanity
and when I go out late at night
always seem to lose my mind
i'm never losing sight of what I'm trying to find
hold on for the better days cuz they'll be comin along
hold on for the better days cuz they'll be comin around and around
hold on for the better days cuz they'll be comin around
gotta mend my broken ways so what I lost can be found
I walk along to ease a little pain
starring out my window longing for the rain
can't take much more of this summer heat
I'm melting away in life's mysteries
and when I go out late at night
always seem to lose my mind
but i'm never losing sight of what I'm trying to find
hold on for the better days cuz they'll be comin along
hold on for the better days cuz they'll be comin around and around
hold on for the better days cuz they'll be comin around
gotta mend my broken ways so what I lost can be found

It's to bad before it all began it was already over
I took a chance on a new romance that was heading nowhere
I took your hand when I should have ran now we're heading somewhere
I always dreamed it'd be you and me together forever
And now we're standing here face to face
trying to figure out the reason why
And we both know just how it feels
so don't tell me this love aint real
cuz I will not cry without you by my side
cuz I know that this, is just a love yet to die
Yeah it's a love yet to die
I didn't kiss you goodbye this morning
I didn't even wave to you
there are memories that keep haunting me
of a lover I once knew
And now we're standing here face to face
trying to figure out the reason why
And we both know just how it feels
so don't tell me this love aint real
cuz I feel alive when you're by my side
and I know that our love will survive
Yeah our love will survive
Tempers rising in the middle of the night
I didn't mean to say those things to you
but it's too late to make things right
so I'll just turn and say goodbye to you
now we're still standing here face to face
trying to figure what the hell went wrong
And we both know this love ain't real
so don't tell me just how I feel
cuz I will not cry without you by my side
cuz I know that this, is just a love yet to die
Yeah it's a love yet to die

Well now she doesn't care if you are aware
that she buys her pearls at the dollar store
she's a cut above all the ordinary girls
shes lucky in love in every corner of the world
she'll be second to none unless it's manic fun
then she'll come undone with the rising sun
you know she'll always be
the girl that I'll adore
and she'll always be
a part of me if nothing more
and it might take some time
before it all comes together
you might change your mind
still my love is forever
...ALWAYS
She's in a mixed up world and that's ok
she'll ask you to leave and then beg you to stay
now she's full of the devil and I'm mystified
that I never got past those angel eyes
well she promised me heaven then put me through hell
she's a witchy woman but she's my Southern Belle
you know she'll always be
the girl that I'll adore
and she'll always be
a part of me if nothing more
and when it all comes down to just her and me
I hope she'll be around to let our love be
...ALWAYS
yes, she'll break my heart in a thousand ways
she don't mean no harm that's just how she plays
she can have almost anything that you could dream
diamonds cars and big fancy things
but I don't care her money means nothing to me
because her sweet sweet love is all that I need
you know she'll always be
the girl that I'll adore
and she'll always be
a part of me if nothing more
and the time is now
for me to tell you dear
take you as a friend or a lover
and that I'll be right here
...ALWAYS

you got another thing coming
if you think im runing away
Cuz I ain't never had
another lover quite like you
You've been gone for a while
and I still like your style
think I want to have you around
well I'll cross the miles
and paint on a smile
just to have you talk with me
and tell me....
Chorus:
what will it take
to light that fire in your eyes
how long should I wait
before I turn and say goodbye
And I keep holding on
with nowhere left to run
take me to heaven
just one more time
we'll bend the rules
then we'll walk the lines
you got another thing coming
if you think you're runing away
you ain't never gonna find
another lover quite like me
I've been gone for a while
but I've changed my style
just to show you that
I want you around
well If you cross the miles
I'll paint a smile
right on your pretty face
Just tell me...
what will it take
to light that fire in your eyes
how long should I wait

And I keep holding on

then we'll walk the lines
If that's what it takes
to light that fire in your eyes
Then I can't wait.
