He's there up on the stage 

Howlin' at the moon 

His heart and soul 

Are on the line for you 

You know it ain't for glory 

You know it ain't for greed, no 

It's a deeper, desperate need 

To be what he's got to be 

And sometimes it's so hard 

Sometimes he goes too far 

And sometimes he gets so low 

And if you ask him why, he'll tell you 



It's the only love that I can get 

The only love that I can get 

Well, it may be wrong, and it won't last long 

But it's the only love that I can get 



She's there out on the ledge 

Sayin' I'm gonna take the leap 

You'd better talk me down 

Or I'll end up a lifeless heap 

With her freinds and family beggin' 

You've got so much to live for 

With the lights and cameras trained on her 

She gets what she wished for 

And sometimes it's so hard 

Sometimes she goes too far 

And sometimes she gets so low 

And when they asked her why, she'll tell you 



And sometimes it's so hard 

Sometimes he goes too far 

And sometimes he gets so low 

And if you ask him why, he'll tell you 

It's the only love that I can get 

The only love that I can get 

Well, it may be wrong and it won't last long 

But it's the only love that I can get
