Only One Apple

You’re lookin’ for another, somebody who knows your rules

A brand new kind of lover, a leader who follows

He’ll be your dad and mother, and always agree with you

“why do they all run away?”

Something always happens, right after it all begins

He falls into your trappings, you find yourself winning

So, eve competes with adam, when adam can never win

“why do they all run away?”

“why doesn’t love ever stay?”

It was only one apple

Just on taste of honey

Suddenly you’re on your own

And it’s still about an apple

But now we call it money

Guaranteed – nobody home

Every new beginning, you start with the same old rules

A game you’ll soon be winning, you’re the only one playing

Your love is only fitting, into those same old shoes

“why do they all run away?”

We all can see you coming, lookin’ for someone new

Talkin’ ‘bout good lovin’, and takin’ those chances

You live to rise above it, and hold on to yesterday

“why do they all run away?”

“why doesn’t love ever stay?”

(report chorus)

(bridge)

She’s gonna’ have her way

-- all gold, all jewels, all win, no lose

Or someone’s gonna’ pay

-- all old, all fools, too thin, new rules

There’s nothin’ you can say

-- she needs, to live, you give, no news

You’re livin’ yesterday

-- go up, go down, do what, she’ll choose

It only takes one bite

-- she moves, so smooth, so soon, no groove

Just one turn to the right

-- she fakes, she takes, don’t make, mistakes

So soon you’re taking flight

-- no snakes, no brakes, high rates, all skate

And leaving paradise

-- no bets, no threats, it gets, away
