Here I am standing with these teardrops in my eyes

Hoping maybe someday you will change

I heard that same ole story too many times before

You tell me that you love me then you turn around and run

I just want your sweet love

I can't stop coming around

You know that your sweet love

Someday it's going to tear me down, down, down, down, down, down, d-d-down

Here I am still waiting like the fool I've always been

Hoping maybe some day you will change

I try to give you all of my heart time after time

But you hang me out there like a puppet on a string

I just want your sweet love

I can't stop coming around

You know that your sweet love

Someday it's going to tear me down, down, down, down, down, down, d-d-down
