Blonde hair on my pillow
Lipstick on my shirt
A woman's picture on the wall

Of a memory that still hurts

That stabs just like a knife

That's been dulled from overuse
I can faintly hear her laughter
And the tone of her abuse

It always brings you down

To the same place in the end

A woman leads you to the edge
And you fall in love again


I thought I was her partner
When I heard the song begin
I said,

This dance is taken.
When someone else cut in


I know I'm not much different
From any other man
We all believe in something

We cannot understand

It always brings you down

To the same place in the end
A woman leads you to the edge
And you fall in love again


Jealousy's a heavy price to pay
But damn the cost

Sometimes you don't know
What you've found Until you're lost


I don't know what it comes to
Don't expect I ever will
But the feelings That don't die inside

Are the ones you cannot kill

They'll always bring you down

To the same place in the end
A woman leads you to the edge
And you fall in love again


And if I've really lost her
I'll start the search again

Longing for Love's waters
To wash me clean again


Take me to the River
I'm ready for the plunge
There ain't been much water

Lately, in my sponge

It always brings you down

To the same place in the end
A woman leads you to the edge
And you fall in love again
