you say stay and never leave
you say meant for ever
I could believe you, but I don't
you say we're almost all alone together
all alone
you say
you say you will
I know you won't
  I was wrong
  I was wrong to ever doubt
  I can get along without
  I can love my fellow man
  but I'm damned if I'll love yours

in a bar that's always closing
in a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
isn't that what friends are for?
pain looks great on other people
that's what they're for
  I was wrong
  I was wrong to ever doubt
  I can get along without
  I can love my fellow man
  but I'm damned if I'll love yours

you say stay and never leave
you say meant for ever
I could believe you but I don't
you say we're almost all alone together
you say
you say you will
I know you won't
  I was wrong
  I was wrong to ever doubt
  I can get along without
  I can love my fellow man
  but I'm damned if I'll love yours

in a bar that's always closing
in a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out

  I was wrong to ever doubt
  I can get along without
  I can love my fellow man
  but I'm damned if I'll love yours
