You gave me too many chances, now it's drivin' us apart

I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start

It must keep building up inside you, 'cause you never let it show

I know I'm hanging on the edge now, but I won't let go



I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind

Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time



Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I'm trying my best

Stay away, stay away from my heart



If you gave me three wishes, I'd throw two of them away

I've seen that look in your eye girl, I'd use the last one this way

We've been from rags to riches, but your love can't be bought

I'm just a junkyard dog, girl, who's afraid he's been caught



You're standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do

And I know the way things must look, it couldn't be further from the truth



Stay away, stay away from my heart - I'm doing all that I can

Stay away, stay away from my heart



Remember how it used to be girl, makin' love like it's the last time

We held each other close, not knowing what we'd found

You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down



(Instrumental break)



I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind

Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time



Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you

Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, I'm doing all I can do

Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you

Stay away, stay away from my heart...
