I'm beginning to like you

But, you know that ain't right

'Cause you'll just twist and twist and twist

Till I'm all crooked inside



Then you'll take all you gave me

Like it never was there

And I think that I might, No! I know

Yes, I will help you there

'Cause ...



Chorus

I've done it before

And I'd do it again

'Cause it's the only time

That makes me feel like I'm

My own best friend



I'm a victim of friction I just got too close to see

Yeah, we sparked in the dark and God hung a light on me

And the lamp gets real heavy and it hangs from my heart

And it comes, and it goes

Till I can't tell the difference apart

But ...



Repeat Chorus



So many people say

It'll never work out that way

You can't stand the heat

While you're watching your heart

Just melt away in the basement

On a rainy day

La la la

La la la

La lala

Lalala la lalaaaaaaaaaa ...



There's motel in Shreveport

Don't ask me where, please

They check in, they check out

By the light of the color T.V.s

And the maid calls you honey

And she makes your bed slow

And she speaks, of the sheets that don't fit

But you know that she knows

That ...



Repeat Chorus
