Five o'clock in the morning

You ain't home

I can't help thinking that's strange

Baby, I just want you to know

I won't go through it again

Those clouds are closing in



And I will not accept this as a part of my life

I will not live in fear

Of what may be

(and the lessons I have learned)

I would rather be alone

Than watch you spinning

Spinning that wheel for me



You've got a thing about danger

Ain't you getting what you want from me?

You've got a thing about strangers

Baby, that's what we used to be

You've got a thing about danger, baby

I guess the hungry just can't see

One of these days

You're gonna bring some home to me



Six o'clock in the morning

You ain't home

I can't help thinking that's strange

Baby, it seems like everybody takes their chances

These days

Oh yeah, we're standing in the rain



And I will not accept this as a part of my life

I will not live in fear

Of what may be

(and the lessons I have learned)

I would rather be alone

Than watch you spinning

Spinning that wheel for me



How can you love me

When you are playing with my life

You say, give me time and I'll do better, I swear

Give me time, and I'll lead you

Back into despair



And I don't want to go back there
