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
