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 this again Yes, those clouds are closing in
Chorus: 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 that I learned ... I would rather be alone than watch you 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 that hungry just can’t see One of this days you gonna bring some home to me
Six o’clock in the morning you ain’t home I can’t help thinking it’s strange It seems that everybody takes their chances these days Oh yeah, we’re standing in the rain
Chorus
How can you love me when you’re 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 to despair And I don’t want to go back there
