One Thing After Another

(album: Hepfidelity - 1992)

You set me up to bring me down
Turn me around so easily
I see it white you paint it black
I never know which way it's going to be
I'm not sure if I'm ready for this kind of love
You steal my cover in the light of dawn
I stand as naked as the day I was born
I wish you'd tell me, girl
What's going on

First this
And then that
It's just one thing after another
You don't miss
Where I'm at
It's always one thing after another

Keep coming on
'Cause I want it
Lead me on relentlessly
You're here, there and everywhere
But never where I need you to be

All I wanted was an answer to my loneliness
You steal my thunder in the light of dawn
Leave me as naked as the day I was born
You said you would
But now my will is gone

First this
And then that
It's just one thing after another
You don't miss
Where I'm at
It's always one thing after another

You put out
Then hold back
Are you a heart break or a lover
I'm crying out
For more of that
Just give me one thing after another

I should have known it all along
You'd drive me out of my mind
I guess you got me where you want me
But I know I'm gonna get you in time
