My sweet desert flower
Where have you been?
And what's that you tell me?
You better try that again
But this time don't lie to me
Don't treat me like a fool
I know what's going on
But I want to hear from you
If you give me a reason I might stay here
You better make it fast
If you give me a reason I might stay here
This is your last chance
Don't say you love me
I've heard it before
That won't pick up the pieces
Of my heart from the floor
Will you tell me your sorry
Will you tell me true
Will you tell me there's nothing
You wouldn't say or do
If you give me a reason I might stay here
You better make it fast
If you give me a reason I might stay here
This is your last chance
Who am I fooling
Only myself
Don't think I could ever
Love anyone else
Take a look into my eyes and tell me you don't care
Tell me there's no future
We have yet to share
If I gave you a reason would you stay here
I better make it fast
If I gave you a reason would you stay here
This is my last chance
