I'm standing round 2nd Avenue
Wishing I could talk to you
So, I stopped in to see if I could call
Wondering what your distance means
If things are really what they seem
Sometime they don't mean anything at all
And, all my friends they say the same
She took your love but not your name
And tore down the Rome that was built in one day
You played fiddle while I sang along
And stole the words to every song
You know that you were built to burn anyway
Have you ever known me not to call
Have you ever known me not to need your love at all
'Cause I have never loved
Nor will I ever love
The way that I
Loved you
And, all my friends they say the same
She took your love but not your name
And tore down the Rome that was built in one day
You played fiddle while I sang along
And stole the words to every song
You know that you were built to burn anyway
Have you ever known me not to drink
Falling down drunk and I can't even think
But I have never drank
Nor will I ever drink
The way that I
Drank you
I have never drank
Nor will I ever drink
The way that I
Drank you
And I still do
