I never had much luck with romance

Anytime it ever got near me.

Love seemed to slip through my hands

Took me as low as a girl could be.

So if i act a little gun shy don't think it's 'cause i don't want you.

I know you'll understand just why

When i tell you what my heart's been through.



It's been bulldozed deep froze heaven knows

It's a true connoisseur of pain.

It's been loosed double crossed rolled up

And hand tossed left out in the pourin' rain.

It's been beat down kicked around

Stomped into the hard ground slammed like a finger in the door.

But honey you're the break,

My heart's been waitin' for.



You're like a breath of fresh air

Dry land to a ship at sea.

Boy i'm sendin up my last flare

I think you're gonna rescue me

Baby i'm countin' on your touch

Io get us back on the mend

My heart's gotten hurt so much

It sure could use a friend



It's been bulldozed deep froze heaven knows

Snd hand tossed left out in the pourin' rain.

Dtomped into the hard ground slammed like a finger in the door.

But honey you're the break,
