This  morning is Monday where are you now
 Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay  low
 When I don't want  to
Well  love is elusive this I know now
 It's making me crazy leaving me out
 In the open  when I don't want  to
The  moments of pleasures Never do last
 Are gone like a suitcase full of your past
Long  gone and in a hurry
Baby,  I can't go through this again
 I don't need to go  down more then I've already been
 Just like a wild  fire you're running all over town
 As much as you burn  me baby I should be ashes by now
The  second street beggars alone in their life
 Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
 Like I  am They're just like I am
Baby,  I can't go through this again
 I don't need to go  down more then I've already been
 Just like a wild  fire you're running all over town
 As much as you burn  me baby I should be ashes by now
 Just like a wild  fire You're running all over town
 As much as you burn  me, baby I should be ashes by now
Ah  ah  ah  ah ah ah ah ah ah  I should be ashes by now
