[Verse 1]:
Every day it’s getting harder to wake up
And face the loneliness and pain
Every night in bed, I’m tossing and I’m turning
Trying to calm my worried brain
I never know when you’re coming or you’re going
And I don’t know where you’ve been
My body’s aching, like a fiend you got me shaking
Just to taste your love again
[Verse 2]:
It seems to me we started out just lovers
And we ended up just friends
We lost the passion when our lust went out of fashion
Now we’re too tired to pretend
Not even God can make you want what you don’t want
And I ain’t got what you want anymore
And I don’t know that there’s a man alive
That likes to be treated like a chore
I know that….
[Chorus]:
Life’s too short to wait this long
For you to give me what I want
I’m sick of trying to be polite
‘Cause I’ve been trying for too long
I don’t want to walk away from you
But I cannot keep hanging on
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Whoa-whoa-oh
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
[Verse 3]:
I need a lover, I don’t need another mother
I don’t need a sister or a friend
I need a body that can give my body
What it needs to feel alive again
I need a love that can fill my soul
And I don’t want to look for someone new
I want a woman who wants me bad
And I want her to be you
‘Cause I know that…
[Chorus]:
Life’s too short to wait this long
For you to give me what I want
I’m sick of trying to be polite
‘Cause I’ve been trying for too long
I don’t want to walk away from you
But I cannot keep hanging on
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Whoa-whoa-oh
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
[Verse 4]:
I don’t want to have to beg and plead
Just to get your lovin’ now and then
I don’t want to be an obligation,
And I don’t want to be just friends
I want to be the forbidden pleasure
That you never speak about
I want to be the name on your lips
In the night when you scream out loud
‘Cause I know that
[Chorus]:
Life’s too short to wait this long
For you to give me what I want
I’m sick of trying to be polite
‘Cause I’ve been trying for too long
I don’t want to walk away from you
But I cannot keep hanging on
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Whoa-whoa-oh
Until all the damage has been done,
And all the love is gone
Don’t make me wait till
The damage has been done
The songs have all been sung
I’ve got to get out while I’m still young
‘Cause all the love is gone
