You're breakin' my heart
Stealing my thunder
How much more can I take
You're draggin' me down
Holding me under
How much more can I take
How much more can I take
Won't somebody break
The news to you gently.
You fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can I take
I see your face
Everywhere, everyplace
How much more can I take
You're here in the night
You're here in the morning sunlight
How much more can I take
How much more can I take
I (wish that I could) make your mind up (for you).
You fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can I take
How much more can I take
Won't somebody help me
I'm naked as the day I was born
These clothes have a way
Of changin' what I'm feelin'
I try and I try but I can't put 'em on
I sit here alone
Wait by the telephone line
How much more can I take
I'm jealous as hell
Mixed up 'n mean as well
How much more can I take
How much more can I take
I know she'd like to break
Those stones over my body.
You fill my eyes
But you don't fill the hunger
How much more can I take
