i think you need some assistance

to keep yourself at a distance

it's harder when she's beautiful

it's easy when she's waking next to you



if you're gonna make a break, make a clean break

if you're gonna make a break, break clean

if you're gonna make a break, make a clean break

if you're gonna make a break, make a clean break



i can see the tables turning

homefires lit, your house is burning

it's harder in the evening but

it's easy in the early afternoon



(repeat chorus)



sure there is an easy out by staying in

for one more session

you justify it all by seeing her in moderation

no opportunity for her to start a new relation

you help yourself because you're sensing

obligation



i think it's great the way you handle

both ends of a burning candle

it's harder when she's easy but it's easy

when she's just as hard on you



(repeat chorus)
