Lyrics

You say stay and never leave
You say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost
All alone together all alone
You say, you say you will
I know you won't
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
But isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other people
That's what they're for
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
Yeah, I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
You say stay and never leave
You say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost
All alone together all alone
Yeah, you say, you say you will
I know you won't
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
Oh, I can get along without
Oh, I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other men
That's what they're for
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
Yes, I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
