We took the long and steady road
And from the start you had a heart of gold, you broke the mold
I never thought you would decide
The grass was greener on the other side of love?s divide

You were everything that I wanted and more
Now we can?t go back where we started, never be like before

Darlin? me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I?m through with playing the fool for love
Darlin? yes it?s true we had a grand engagement
But I can?t stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I?ve got to be a man, baby I?ve got to take a stand

So now we gone our separate ways
But in my heart I feel the burning flames of love?s remains
Now I have to find somebody new
But all who dare will be compared to you
What can I do?

You were everything that I dreamed I would find
Now we can?t go back where we started this is the end of the line

Darling me and you we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I?m through playing the fool for love
Darlin? yes it?s true we had a grand engagement
But I can?t stand by while you break my heart in two, oh
I?ve got to be a man, baby I?ve got to take a stand

Me and you, we had a strange arrangement
But you broke all the rules and I?m through playing the fool for love
Darlin? yes it?s true we had a grand engagement
But I can?t stand by while you break my heart in two, no
I?ve got to be a man, baby I?ve got to take a stand
