There's a couple of things I've learned 

On the many roads I've taken 

Flames are not what get you burned 

It's the cold and the ice 

Here's a piece of advice 

I got from a little bird 

The flames can get you 

Stirred 

It's the cold that leaves you shaken 



I don't like to philosophize 

I just want to tell a story 

Always leave when a woman cries 

Never look in a woman's eyes 

You'll get stuck with a high and rising fever 

And then you can't leave her 

Please, don't wait man 

It's almost too late man 



She cries and you want to hold her 

She lies and you want to run away 

But just give her a minute 

I promise you're in it to stay 



She smiles and you'll stay forever 

She screams 

Well, that's the price you pay 

But there's no one can make you 

Forget how you feel 

For all she can take 

You've got more there to steal 

So you don't mind a bit of surprise 

And she cries 



I don't like to admit I'm wrong 

I believe in guts and glory 

But it's time I should change my song 

I've been here just a bit too long 

Always thought I was much too strong for hating 

And still I keep waiting...



And while I'm resolving 

That door keeps revolving 

She cries and you want to hold her 

She lies and you're half way out the door 

But you never can do it 

She'll make you go through it once more 



She smiles and you'll stay forever 

She sings 

Oh, she's got you now for sure 

And each time that you swear 

That you will not give in 

She'll throw you a stare 

That'll show you can't win 

It's amazing how hard each man tries 

But she cries 



All of a sudden 

You fall for her charms 

You promise you'll stop all her tears 

All of sudden 

She's back in your arms 

And the walls start closing 

And blocking out the light 

And changing all your dreams 

And right before your eyes 



She cries 

And I don't know the answer 

She spies 

And there's no place I can hide 

When I look in the mirror,

There's nothing but fear here inside 

I run 

And still she is right behind me 

I fall 

The chasm is too wide 



So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique 

Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week 

But each time I prepare my goodbyes 

Well, she catches me looking 

And she opens the floodgates 



And she cries
