lyrics

They applaud, oh and how they scream
Any spotlight chaser's dream
The way they latch on every line

But since I first heard your word
I went too far to be heard
Every note to make you mine

And my fear of living in your past tense
All the hearsay made no sense
So removed from the life we used to know
Now you must go

And every time I play that song women throw themselves at me
But I can't stop thinking of you
All the verses and choruses we've been through
Yes, every time I play that song
A thousand lovestruck voices sing along
But my song never could make you stay

Now it ends with one more familiar phrase
"We must go our separate ways"
No more questions to pull apart

But if you start wearing thin
That's the one and only sin
That would truly break my heart

When you leave, I ask one thing to be true:
See yourself as I see you
You are beautiful just as you are
And I won't be far

Anytime I play that song and women throw themselves at me
But I can't stop thinking of you
All the verses and choruses we've been through
Yes, every time I play that song
A thousand lovestruck voices sing along
But my song never could make you stay

Every time I play that song women throw themselves at me
But I can't stop thinking of you
All the verses and choruses we've been through
Every time those notes gave sweet caress
Oh, if they only knew my bitterness
That my song never could make you stay
