Don't give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn’t need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side

I... still don't want to love you
I... swear to God it's true
I... don’t like dreaming of you anymore
But I... but damn my soul, I do

I ain't got all the answers
I'm scared to death of you
I don't like taking chances anymore
But I damn my soul, I do

Y'see, I got hit so hard, I thought I was dyin'
Then I fell so far, I thought I could fly

Darling from the start, if somebody's lying
Double-cross your heart, and don't even try

Because I... sure don’t want to need you
I...’d hate to count on you
I...'m tired of going crazy, any more
But I... but damn my soul, I do
Don’t give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn't need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side
