If it was just another woman, I'd know what to do
If it was whiskey or gambling, I could pull you through
But there's something between us that I can't get around
I can't get over, I can't go under, I can't tear it down

I'm up against the wall 
You built so strong and tall
You won't let me in 
So I can never win
'Cause I'm up against the wall

If it was money that you needed, I would beg and steal
If you were restless or reckless, I'd know how you feel 
But you keep me at a distance so close and yet so far
I touch your body but you won't let me touch your heart

I'm up against the wall 
You built so strong and tall
You won't let me in 
So I can never win
'Cause I'm up against the wall
