[Verse 1]

When it started, we had high hopes

Now my back's on the line, my back's on the ropes

When it started, we were alright

But night makes a fool of us in the daylight

[Verse 2]

There we were dying of frustration

Sayin', "Lord, lead me not into temptation"

But it's not easy when she turns you on

Sin, stay gone

[Chorus]

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes

Whether you will's anybody's guess

God only, God knows I'm tryin' my best

But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

[Interlude]

Hey!

[Verse 3]

So up they picked me by the big toe

I was held from the rooftop, then they let go

Dizzily screamin', "Let the windows down!"

As I crawl to the ground

[Chorus]

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes

Whether you will's anybody's guess

God only, God knows she won't let me rest

But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

I've become so tired of this loneliness
