Just To Spend Tonight With You

(album: View From The House - 1988)

What good is love if you're not wearing it baby
When you're dying of thirst and drowing in maybe's
When nobody else can touch that part of you
Me I stood out here in the open
And offered the one thing that nobody else had broken
As if I didn't know what you might do
I might lose

I have broken every rule the hard way for you
And I would do it all again
Just to spend the night with you

You took my love like a one armed bandit
Got reason to cry
Got more than I can stand and
I'm going down for the third time over you
It hurts the most when the knife keeps coming
I was standing still when I should have been running
As if you didn't know what I might do
I might choose

I have broken every rule the hard way for you
And I would do it all again
Just to spend the night with you
I would follow every road with nothing else in view
Just like the frozen willow bends I have
Just to spend the night with you

Do you love to watch me break
Do you just love to watch me ache
On the chances that I take
Do you love to watch me break in two
Honey just to spend the night with you
