All this talk of getting old
Is getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag
Waiting to drown
This time i've calmed down
And i know your thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know i'll see your face again
and now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know i'll see your face again
But I know i'm on a loosing streak
As I pass down by your street
And if you want a show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I Know i'll see your face again
So baby, Ohhhh
If Heaven calls
I'm coming too
Just like you said
When you leave my life
I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old
Is getting me down my love
Like a cat in the bag
Waiting to drown
This time i'm holding on.
Drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know i'll see your face again
So baby, ohhhhh
If Heaven calls
I'm comming too
And like you said
If you leave my life
I'm better off dead
But if you want a show
Just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now that the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again(x4)
Never comming down
Never comming down no more (x2)
yea, I know i'll see your face again.
