Don't Tear Me Down

You call me up on the telephone.

You just got to know

I sleep alone.

You like nothin' better, to hear me plead with you.

You like nothin' better, to know

I'm still your fool.

You crazy *****, who makes the rules.

I've been livin' the lie, livin' your lie.

I've been wondering why, wondering why...

You like to see me cry.

Don't, DON'

T tear me down.

Don't, DON'

T tear me down.

You said nothin' lasts forever.

You were the only one

I like to hold.

But now you turn to ice, your touch is cold.

Now all you like to do is manipulate.

When you make love to me, it's just a simulate.

I can't take your *****t no more, why do

I try? I've been livin' the lie, livin' your lie.

I've been wondering why, wondering why...

You like to see me cry.

Don't, DON'

T tear me down.

Don't, DON'

T tear me down.

You said nothin' lasts forever, ever.

Don't, DON'

T tear me down.

Don't, DON'

T tear me down.

You said nothin' lasts forever, ever.
