Well i'm a sinner, and you're a saint Baby i love your new coat of paint So i'll keep on singing till these blues turn to gold ... I'll test the poison, i'll break the law Write your name on a highway wall They say the higher you go, the better you are But the harder you'll hit when you fall Baby i can't go running on empty You take the red from the rose All i've got is what you've left me Now a dollar saved is a dollar lost Look at what all these feelings cost I'm down on a dime, wasting my time And i can't seem to find words i've lost So ring around the rosey babe You might think that you've got it made But everyone knows, you keep changing your clothes There's a bill that will never be paid And baby i can't go running on empty You take the red from the rose Hide that picture, man it always tempts me
