All  this talk of gettin' old
 it's gettin' me down  my love
 like a cat in a bag
 waiting to drown
this  time I'm coming  down
and  I hope you're thinking of me
 as you lay down on  your side
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make you worse
 but I know  I'll see your face  again
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make you worse
 but I know  I'll see your face  again
But  I know I'm on a losing streak
 cause I passed down my  old street
 and if you wanna show
 then just let me know
 and I'll sing  in your ear  again
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make you worse
 but I know  I'll see your face  again
 cause baby ooohhhh
 if heaven calls  I'm coming too
 Just like you said
 you leave my life  I'm better of dead.
All  this talk of gettin' old
 it's gettin' me down  my love
 like a cat in a bag
 waiting to drown
this  time I'm coming  down
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make you worse
 but I know  I'll see your face  again
 cause baby ooohhhh
 if heaven calls  I'm coming too
 Just like you said
 you leave my life  I'm better of dead.
 but if you wanna show
 then just let me know
 and I'll sing  in your ear  again
 now the drugs don't work
 they just make you worse
 but I know  I'll see your face  again
yeah  I know I'll see your face again
yeah  I know I'll see your face again
yeah  I know I'll see your face again
yeah  I know I'll see your face again
Never  coming down,
I'm  never coming down
no  more no more no more no more no more
