We've been here before

Like a book I read in the hall that leads to your door

And my words hang in the air

Like the smoke when I spoke to you



And I said before you come to bed

Take off your ring

My heart's on a thread

And love's on a shoestring



And I've been down to the wire

That's the way my luck has been

But I can't put out this fire

Let the loser win



I still look for your face

On the overcoat I used to walk to your place

It's good to know that you're doing well

Did you hear, was it clear to you?



When I said before you come to bed

Take off your ring

My heart's on a thread

And love's on a shoestring



And when I look in your eyes

I can hear them sing

There are no ties

With love on a shoestring



And I said before you come to bed

Take off your ring

My heart is on a thread

And love's on a shoestring



And when I look in your eyes

I can hear them sing

There are no ties

With love on a shoestring



There are no ties

With love on a shoestring
