You’re lookin’ for another, somebody who knows your rules A brand new kind of lover, a leader who follows He’ll be your dad and mother, and always agree with you “why do they all run away?” Something always happens, right after it all begins He falls into your trappings, you find yourself winning So, eve competes with adam, when adam can never win “why do they all run away?” “why doesn’t love ever stay?” It was only one apple Just on taste of honey Suddenly you’re on your own And it’s still about an apple But now we call it money Guaranteed – nobody home Every new beginning, you start with the same old rules A game you’ll soon be winning, you’re the only one playing Your love is only fitting, into those same old shoes “why do they all run away?” We all can see you coming, lookin’ for someone new Talkin’ ‘bout good lovin’, and takin’ those chances You live to rise above it, and hold on to yesterday “why do they all run away?” “why doesn’t love ever stay?” (report chorus) (bridge) She’s gonna’ have her way -- all gold, all jewels, all win, no lose Or someone’s gonna’ pay -- all old, all fools, too thin, new rules There’s nothin’ you can say -- she needs, to live, you give, no news You’re livin’ yesterday -- go up, go down, do what, she’ll choose It only takes one bite -- she moves, so smooth, so soon, no groove Just one turn to the right -- she fakes, she takes, don’t make, mistakes So soon you’re taking flight -- no snakes, no brakes, high rates, all skate And leaving paradise -- no bets, no threats, it gets, away
