I think I could give myself up to you

Cause you pushed your way thru my attitude

But a taste of life on the tip of my tongue

Won't let me forget. It just reminds me

Of all the things I've been fed

And all the magazines that I've read

I'm suspicious of what you said



How long can we be this way

How long can we live this way

Will twisted tongues bring us down

Or the twisted world we're living in

Or am I the one that's twisted too

Thinking we'll make it thru



Lipstick smiles bring me worries

When I imagine you with somebody else

That's when I know you got me twisted baby

Oh these wicked jealousies could bring us down

Every woman to herself

Every man is his own

When I'm with you the feeling's stronger

I wonder



chorus:

How Long can we be this way

How long can we live this way...



The thought of saying I'll give you everything I got

Seems so empty cause it's stereotype

To protect my sanity



chorus
