Loving You's A Dirty Job (But Somebody's Gotta Do It)

When the sky is falling and you're looking 'round for somewhere to hide

Did you ever call out to someone

Did you ever call out to me

I've never been gone

I've been right here by your side

There ain't nothin' but clouds

There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes

Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth

You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth

Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most

You're so busy trying to get even

You never even try to get close

I can't explain it away

Doesn't make any sense

To know what it's like

I guess you gotta go through it

Guess you gotta go through it

Guess you gotta go through it

It doesn't matter baby

Loving you's a dirty job

Loving you loving you's a dirty job

But somebody's gotta do it

There were times when we'd never fake it

There were times we would always make it

There were times we would take it to the limit

And we'd never ever ever leave each other alone

We were flesh and blood and bone

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all

There were times when we took our chances

There were times we were damn good dancers

There were times when we heard all the answers

In the bleeding of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll

I can see right through your soul

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all

If your fears could only be forgotten

We could pull all the barriers down

Would you follow your dreams' desire

Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire

Let's peel out of this town

It's been nothing but dreams

It's been nothing but dreams until now

You're never gonna see it

You got your head stuck in the sand

It's the land of the free and easy street

It's the home of the damned

Oh you're never gonna see it

You better open up your eyes

You're the only one who's left

Who's gonna believe all your lies

I can't explain it away

It doesn't make any sense

To know what it's like

I guess you gotta go through it

You gotta go through it

You gotta go

It doesn't matter baby

Loving you's a dirty job

Loving you loving you's a dirty job

But somebody's gotta do it

There were times when our bodies glistened

There were times that we can't stop missing

There were times when we'd lay in bed and listen

To the pounding pounding chorus of our desperate hearts

Nothing could have torn us apart

There were times we had it all

There were times we had it all

There were times when we fought like tigers

There were times we were damn good liars

There were times when we took our chances

There were times we were damn good dancers

Loving you's a dirty job

But somebody's gotta do it

There were times when we fought like tigers

There were times we were damn good liars

There were times we'd extinguish every fire

That was burning burning burning up each other alive

From the heavens on down to the dives

There were times we lost it all

There were times we lost it all

There were times when our bodies glistened

There were times that we can't stop missing

There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen

To the pounding pounding chorus of our desperate hearts

Nothing could have torn us apart

There were times we had it all

There were times we lost it all
