The elevator it goes right to the 21st floor

he's steppin' out and she walks right through the president's door

In this world you know you're just a fool to take

He'll give you something adds up to nothing

It's your heart that breaks



* One heart stands alone

Stripped right down to the bone

One heart easy to break

( /How much more can you take/Tell me now that this is just a mistake)



He sits up there like a king oh in the company chair

He'll cast you right but you know it's just so unfair

So you're one more number now in his telephone book

It shows nothing you've got something from the pleasure he took



* Repeat twice



So you think you're found it, your one big break, got what it takes

And you're tough enough to spot all those fakes, your first mistake

But you've got something that survives

A burnin' heart stays alive

And now I wish you could do with me

Oh baby you just couldn't see



[INSTRUMENTAL]



He'll give you your something, adds up to nothing, and your heart breaks



* Repeat three times then start fading
