the street's full of shooting /
and tigers they roam /
you could get electrocuted out there alone /
i know that you're angry but pick up a phone /
i know you don't wanna /
but if you'd just come home /
i'd do whatever it is that i'm supposed to do /
though i could count on ten fingers the ways i couldn't count on you /
i don't wanna be unfair
but every time we fight i'm scared i'm pushing you out of my door /
it turns me from the man i am to the man i'm not /
don't wanna push my luck any more /
now we ain't criminals /
but this is a crime /
don't count on an ambulance to get there on time /
i would do anything you ever asked me to though
i could count on ten fingers the ways i couldn't count on you /
i don't wanna be unfair
but every time we fight i'm scared i'm pushing you out of my door /
it turns me from the man i am to the man i'm not /
don't wanna push my luck any more /
i don't wanna be unfair / don't want you out of my hair /
i don't care i ain't a millionaire /
'cos i'll still share your taxi fare / even though we swear /
i don't want an intermittent love affair /
if we dare to mend the tear /
make me don't be scared any more
