We've been here before Like a book I read in the hall that leads to your door And my words hang in the air Like the smoke when I spoke to you And I said before you come to bed Take off your ring My heart's on a thread And love's on a shoestring And I've been down to the wire That's the way my luck has been But I can't put out this fire Let the loser win I still look for your face On the overcoat I used to walk to your place It's good to know that you're doing well Did you hear, was it clear to you? When I said before you come to bed Take off your ring My heart's on a thread And love's on a shoestring And when I look in your eyes I can hear them sing There are no ties With love on a shoestring And I said before you come to bed Take off your ring My heart is on a thread And love's on a shoestring And when I look in your eyes I can hear them sing There are no ties With love on a shoestring There are no ties With love on a shoestring
