There's too much wait and too much give and take
And there ain't much pride inside me
She lights the sun and conjures up the rain
She's a red hot kid, she's a crying shame
Like any good gambler
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you
Don't look now, she's right behind you
Being alone, she's not the same
Anytime is the right time
I keep wishing in vain, but listen friend
But I could never let yesterday go
It's too late now, she's not the same
And when the falling rain makes me sad
I was chained to a wishing well
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you
She comes to me in the dreams I've had
Ah, the loving ain't easy
I'm a little uneasy
I let it get the best of me
In the morning light, in the dead of night
It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride
And there ain't much pride inside me
It's too late now, she's not the same
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you
It's too late now, she's not the same
She don't make me feel like she did before
Too little devotion and I'm tired of just
I'm a little uneasy
Looking for someone to take her inside
To get on with a new tomorrow
It's too late now, she don't talk no more
She's a son of a gun, she's a red hot flame
