No Middle Ground

(album: It's Only Rock And Roll - 1983)

When it comes to loving, I guess that I've always been blind
I fall for the wrong ones and leave all the right ones behind
My sense of survival has kept me in line
Till I managed to clear out my mind
But now I'm not certain I'll ever stop hurting this time

When it comes to trouble, I guess we've had more than out share
But this time it's hopeless, with me here and you way out there
But I looked around, I seen no middle ground
Well it's driving me out of my mind
There's no compromising, it's really over this time

Just look where we're standing, it's never been this far before
There's your side and my side, there's no middle ground anymore
A sense of survival keeps me from your side
And you won't come over to mine
Pride may be foolish, but pride is the winner this time

I looked around, I seen no middle ground
Well it's driving me out of my mind
There's no compromising, it's really over this time
There's no middle ground this time
