I been waiting here for so long
  counting all the holes in my shoes
  you've been singing such a different song
  I ain't gonna punch you in the eye
  just 'cause you tell a crazy lie
  
  Even so . . .
  I knew how you would go . . .
  I'm always the last to know you're trying to love me too
  
  You've been wasting so much time away
  never seem to get through to you
  you've been lazy now it's time to pay
  who's gonna be the one to say who's gonna make the move today
  
  I won't stand by . . .
  asking you questions why . . .
  not while you say you're too shy to look me in the eye . . .
  
  If you were mine
  I'd never need to wipe the smile from my face
  it ain't no crime
  what we'd achieve if we stayed in this place
  
  You said once I had a hold on you
  and I believed you first time around
  but now you don't know what you're trying to do
  so when you turn around and realise
  I'm not around to dry your eyes
  
  Then you'll know . . .
  it's crazy to let me go . . .
  you're always the last to know
  I'm trying to love you too . . .
  
  If you were mine
  I'd never need to wipe the smile from my face
  it ain't no crime
  what we'd achieve if we stayed in this place
  
  If you kept your promise baby
  everything would stay the same
  but I can't shake the feeling you're searching maybe
  for another love to blame
  
  If you were mine
  I'd never need to wipe the smile from my face
  it ain't no crime
  what we'd achieve if we stayed in this place
