Upon reflection, the last 'relationship' I had (if you could call it that) affected me much, much more than I'm comfortable with -- but not so much that I wasn't able to get free of it.

To give you a sample of my mental state then and now? I leave it to the professionals.

What is it you want from me? There isn't much I will not do. If it's only company You know, I might need that too. Won't you

Come anytime - I'm a man of leisure, Come anytime, I await your pleasure.

There's nothing new beneath the sun We've butchered every sacred cow Don't tell me about all the things you might have done Just tell me what are you doing now - right now.

Come anytime, I won't give you pressure Come anytime - I can wait forever

And if you can't make up your mind

We could make it up together.

Things like this happen every day Whatever happens, it's O.K. Why be afraid when we've got it made - I'll never ask you to explain.

What is it you want from me? You won't shock me easily. Maybe it's your heart's desire, Maybe it's your wildest dream, Maybe I'm a gun-for-hire but, Baby, don't we make quite a team, Don't we? Don't we?

Come anytime (you're so inclined) I won't give you trouble Come anytime (you're going blind) or you're seeing double And I have never been the kind who'd want to Burst your bubble.

Come anytime.

The early morning sun lit up her room But it wasn't just a change in the weather She'd read it in her stars and now she felt it in her heart Life was gonna start getting better

And there was a time when she would pray That each teardrop that rolled down her face Would represent a day of pain for him But now she's changing the way she feels About wasting her time & tears

Cried out, cried out, cried out Cried out, cried out, cried out

And all the tricks and all the lies He tried to pull over her eyes Kept running through her mind She looks back in disbelief In confusion and in grief At what his secrecy was revealing You can scream into your pillow You can pray into the night But you can't switch off your feelings Like you'd switch out a light But she's changing the way she feels About wasting her time and tears

Cried out, cried out, cried out Cried out, cried out, cried out

And now these winter skies Turn blue and bright And she feels alive And wants to drink every kiss Make up for what she's missed And wipe him out of her mind Some day he'll have to grow up And come clean And listen to the screams Of his own conscience Cry out, cry out, cry out

...And she'll not hear a sound
