Oh, gosh, it's been going on for a while, right?
What a shame, what a shame
She left you long before, she said goodbye
A wound so deep, it's still not mended
I bet if you ask her and she should reply
You'll see from when it ended, yeah
You learn that in life, you shouldn't take for granted
Things you love and that which is most wanted
'Cause your hand's already full then the fire's no longer golden
She's been crying for a lifetime but now yours is just begun
You're gonna have some lovely with the night
Believe me, ice-cold memories on the rocks
Now be careful 'bout the bridges that you burn
'Cause now the time has come, learn your lessons and move on
She tried to show you she was seeking your attention
And all she ever wanted from you was affection
What more is there to tell? You found yourself on the grill
Burning, burning, listen, boy
One more love affair in foreclosure, yes
Ooh, forget it, my friend, this one is over
'Cause your hand's already full then, then your fire's no longer golden
She's been crying, crying for a lifetime, now yours is just begun
You're gonna have some lovely with the night evenings
Ice-cold memories on the rocks
Now be careful 'bout the bridges that you burn
'Cause now the time has come, learn your lessons and move on
Yes, move on, so many days
She left you long before she said goodbye
A wound so deep, it's still not mended
I bet if you ask her and she should reply
You'll see from when it ended, ooh, yes
And you'll learn that in life, you shouldn't take for granted
Things you love and that which is most wanted
'Cause if her hand's already full then, the affair's no longer golden
She's been crying, crying for a lifetime, now yours is just begun, oh
