Yeah I know we can't afford it but life doesn't last too long
 This world has gone half-crazy
 And knocked us both to our knees
 I'm fumbling for the words to try to tell ya
 I love you for hangin' onto me

 When anyone else would've been long gone
 Packed it up and headed back home
 And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
 Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
 Called the game on a count of rain
 Anyone else, anyone else
 Anyone but you

 Mayday baby, all the rivets popped loose, it's a total tailspin
 Too much grindstone, too little time with you
 Girl, you know it's wearing thin
 Baby let's trade in these teardrops
 For warm kisses on skin
 You got a drawer full of IOU's
 And it's high time you called those things in

 When anyone else would've been long gone
 Packed it up and headed back home
 And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
 Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
 Called the game on a count of rain
 Anyone else, anyone else
 Anyone but you

 You've passed up so many chances
 To walk right out that door
 Instead of dodging a champagne cork
 And watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor

 When anyone else would've been long gone
 Packed it up and headed back home
 And you can hide behind a Cheshire cat grin but you know it's true
 Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
 Called the game on a count of rain
 Anyone else, anyone else
 Anyone but you

 Anyone else
 Girl, anyone but you
