I don't know nothing about love When it comes around I run And I don't know a thing about your pain This skin of mine has grown so tough I hold on to the stories that they tell me I haven't got that much else I try to give a little here and there when I'm able But I mostly look out for myself And the old man on the corner says go on Have it your way try to make it on your own When you get to heaven there'll be plenty of heartache Cause there won't be no one there you know I know a thing or two about guys like you You're an open book I can read your eyes You laugh and tell me how you know so much about me But you don't know I'm the master of disguise And the old man on the corner says go on Have it your way try to make it on your own When you get to heaven there'll be plenty of heartache Cause there won't be no one there you know Sometimes it's lonelier than midnight on the run It gets so dark round here I've lost sight of the sun But I know my way home In the middle of this highway I've been traveling Double yellow lines say don't cross I don't go breaking rules for nothing But sometimes I think I'd be better off On the other side Before you go remember Be sure you always say goodbye Hug your mama and tell her that you love her And tell those boys you never even tried And the old man on the corner says go on Have it your way try to make it on your own When you get to heaven there'll be plenty of heartache Cause there won't be no one there you know
