What a shame she had to go Now the fire's just an ember And the sweet love we've known Is just a time to remember Too much, too fast Should'a known we'd crash Now I'm goin' through the motions But I can't stop my devotion I'm running short on the spice of life these days Whatever it takes is getting farther away I let down my guard, I fell and I fell hard In a flash of pain Now I'm running short on the spice of life these days Didn't win, place or show But I sure learned a lesson 'Bout how much I could lose Even with the best intentions
Now love makes the rules And I know love can be cruel But I'd sure like to trade Some new for some old days I did my stuff, kept hangin' tough But I just don't hit the mow And the way to your heart nearly tore me apart And it's got me down so low I'm running short on the spice of life these days My pure love, was purely by mistake I let down my guard, I fell and I fell hard In a flash of pain Now I'm running short on the spice of life these days Yeah, I'm running short on the spice of life these days
