[Verse 1]
If you ever feel the time
To drop me a loving line
Maybe you should just think twice
I don't wait around on your advice

[Chorus]
You tell me I can go this far but no more
Try to show me heaven and then slam the door
You offer shelter at a price much too dear
And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears

[Verse 2]
So don't brag how you have changed
And everything's been rearranged
I thought all that was over and done
But I still get the same from each and every one

[Chorus]
Being kind is just a way to keep me under your thumb
And I can cry because that's something we've always done
You tell me I'm free of the past now and all those lies
Then offer me the same thing in a different guise

[Trumpet Solo]
[Chorus]
You tell me I can go this far but no more
Try to show me heaven and then slam the door
You offer shelter at a price much too dear
And your kind of love's the kind that soon disappears
