I been known to say the wrong things in my time,

Stumble when I was in my prime

We cannot have it our way all the time,

And you cannot have it your way all the time



Does it have to happen like this?

Does it have to be this way?



Open your mouth and breathe on me

I need your sensitivity

Through the desert and ravine

I see you in places you ain’t been

Pass me up and stall me one more time

Distant arrangements in your mind



Still another reason to live

Still another reason to die



Open your mouth and breathe on me

I need your sensitivity



Open your mouth and breathe on me

Sting the very core of me. . .sting it now



Won’t you come and see me some time?

Now that we’ve laid it on the line

Linger a while and the truth

Linger a while on the lies

Won’t you come and see me in my dreams?

The only way we meet it seems

Oh why lead me on?

Oh why lead me on?

Open up your mouth and breathe on me

Open up your mouth and breath on me
