lyrics

You make me break for goodness sake,
You don't know the way, you don't know the way
You catch my eye and and you make me shake
and unsure of just what to say
I know that you don't mean it
When you distract my mind
And make me question everything

I've been watching from across the room
And I don't care what I gotta do
I'll talk all night, lose my head
Just to make it out of here with you
So take another spin around the jukebox dial
You know it couldn't hurt if you stayed a while
Cause' you're the only girl worth a damn in this dive tonight

You make me break for goodness sake
You don't know the way, you don't know the way
You hold me up and and you make me shake
Tie me up in the games you play
I wonder if you mean it
When your distract my mind
And make me question everything

I've been watching from across the room
And I'll do anything I gotta do
I'll talk all night, lose my head
Just to make it out of here with you
Let's take another spin around the jukebox dial
You know it couldn't hurt if you stayed a while
Cause' you're the only girl worth a damn in this dive tonight

Maybe my expectations have escalated to a whole new low
Maybe too low for me to go
This situation has drawn me to something that I never want to know
I think I'm tired and letting it show

I've been watching from across the room
I think I've been warned about girls like you
You tie my hands behind my back
With everything you say and do
I'm spending all my money on the jukebox dial
Placing all my bets on bittersweet denial
I'll hitch a ride and sleep this one off tonight

You're not worth a damn in this dive tonight
