On Again, Off Again

(Album: I'm From The Country - 1998)

She locks him out, but leaves the key
Where he knows it'll always be
In their secret place
He comes and goes and she never knows
Just where she stands in this crazy game he plays
He's always been this way.

On again, off again
It's breaking her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's getting old
One day they're flying high
The next day he's saying goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again.

She ain't getting any younger
And he ain't getting any closer
To buying her a ring
And every time she brings it up
He does his dance and tells her anything
To keep her on a string.

It's On again, off again
It's breaking her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's getting old
One day they're flying high
The next day he's saying goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again.

One day they're flying high
The next day he's saying goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
'Cause forever can't begin 'til this thing ends
This on again, off again...
