Come on home my darling, you must wait up for me tonight
Come on home and don't forget to put the flowers by the window
Put the flowers by the window
When you left this morning I went straight back to my bed
Wish you'd done the same because you know you shouldn't go outside
Because it's cold and you must watch the sign

'Cause I live with a man but there's no kissing
And I dream of a house where nothing's missing
I can go where I want but I never want to
I look for a place that I can long to

It's like life but not life
Like love but not love
But hold onto it darling, 'cause that's all you'll ever have
It's like truth but not truth
Like you but not you
That's all you'll ever have and that's all you'll ever get

Now you must ask me about all the things I know
What to think and where and how to put an egg in boiling water
Put an egg in boiling water
I can tell you things I know you don't want me to say
I can tell you everyone should kill their sons like other daughters
Kill their sons like other daughters

Everyone that you meet they smile inviting
The book that you read it is exciting
And you dream of a car that can take you further
And you look for a way to get involved in murder

It's like life but not life
Like love but not love
But hold onto it, darling, 'cause that's all you'll ever have
It's like truth but not truth
Like you but not you
That's all you'll ever have and that's all you'll ever get

It's like life but not life
Like love but not love
But hold onto it darling, 'cause that's all you'll ever have
It's like truth but not truth
Like you but not you
That's all you'll ever have and that's all you'll ever get

Everything that you said you must deny it
Everything that you found you must hide it
Everything that you know you must fight it
And the thought in your head you must never try it

It's like life but not life
Like love but not love
But hold onto it darling, 'cause that's all you'll ever have
It's like truth but not truth
Like you but not you
That's all you'll ever have and that's all you'll ever get
