This morning is Monday   where are you now
                                       
Teasin' my memory  teaching me how  to lay low
                      
When I don't want to

Well love is elusive this I know now

It's making me crazy leaving me out
                                               
In the open  when I don't want to

The moments of pleasures   Never do last

Are gone like a suitcase  full of your past
                        
Long gone and in a hurry
                            
Baby, I can't go through this again
                                              
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
                                             
Just like a wild fire  you're running all over town
                                                  
As much as you burn me baby  I should be ashes by now

The second street beggars  alone in their life

Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
                                 
Like I am  They're just like I am
                            
Baby, I can't go through this again
                                              
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
                                              
Just like a wild fire  you're running all over town
                                                  
As much as you burn me baby  I should be ashes by now
                                               
Just like a wild fire  You're running all over town
                                                 
As much as you burn me, baby  I should be ashes by now
              
Ah ah ah ah ah   ah  ah   ah ah    I should be ashes by now
