Kayak - Life Without Parole lyrics

In showing her affection I'm made her middle man She promised me protection And money in the bank She said she'd never leave me Or just the odd break So I was getting greedy 'Cause she's got what it takes And I take what I'm given Come to me, come to me Talent is no guarantee Come to me, come to me Help me save my energy I'm bending over backwards Just to satisfy her soul All she ever gave to me Was life without parole She took me for a dander Told stories on the way 'Bout the goose and the gander And when she's gonna pay She treats me like a hostage And takes me for a fool I guess that's what I am now 'Cause she's got what it takes And she takes what she's given... Come to me, come to me Talent is no guarantee Come to me, come to me Help me save my energy I'm bending over backwards Just to satisfy her soul All she ever gave to me Was life without parole Time, I'm doing time, I'm doing fine But I've got to be prepared For going it alone In time, I'm doing time, I'm doing fine But my prison won't be shared When she goes out on her own
