Todd Rundgren - Loving You's a Dirty Job but Somebody's Gotta Do It lyrics

(Jim Steinman) [Girl:] When the sky is falling and you're looking round for somewhere to hide Did you ever call out to someone Did you ever call out to me, I've never been gone- I've been right here by your side There ain't nothin' but clouds There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most You're so busy trying to get even You never even try to get close I can't explain it away It doesn't make any sense To know what it's like I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter baby Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it [Boy:] There were times when we'd never fake it There were times when we'd always make it There were times when we'd take it to the limit And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone We were flesh and blood and bone There were times we had it all There were times we had it all [Both:] There were times when we took our chances There were times we were damn good dancers There were times when we heard all the answers In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll I can see right through your soul There were times we had it all There were times we had it all [Boy:] If your fears could only be forgotten We could pull all of the barriers down Would you follow your dreams' desire Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire Let's just peel out of this town [Both:] It's been nothing but dreams It's been nothing but dreams until now [Boy:] You're never gonna see it [Both:] You got your head stuck in the sand [Boy:] It's the land of the free and easy Street [Girl:] It's the home of the damned [Boy:] You're never gonna see it [Both:] You better open up your eyes [Girl:] You're the only one who's left- [Both:] Who's gonna believe all your lies [Boy:] I can't explain it away It doesn't make any sense [Both:] To know what it's like I guess you gotta go through it It doesn't matter baby [Girl:] Loving you's a dirty job But somebody's gotta do it [Boy:] There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen [Both:] To the pounding, pounding [Chorus] of our desperate hearts Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all [Girl:] There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars [Boy:] There were times we extinguished every fire [Both:] That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive From the heavens on down to the dives There were times we lost it all we lost it all There were times we lost it all we lost it all There were times when we fought like tigers There were times we were damn good liars There were times when our bodies glistened There were times that we can't stop missing There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen To the pounding, pounding [Chorus] of our desperate hearts Nothing could have torn us apart There were times we had it all There were times we had it all
