The elevator it goes right to the 21st floor She's steppin' out and she walks right through the president's door In this world you know you're just a fool to take He'll give you something adds up to nothing It's your heart that breaks
(1) One heart stands alone Stripped right down to the bone One heart easy to break How much more can you take Tell me now that this is just a mistake
He sits up there like a king oh in the company chair He'll cast you right but you know it's just so unfair So you're one more number now in his telephone book It shows nothing you've got something from the pleasure he took
(1) Repeat twice
So you think you're found it, your one big break, got what it takes And you're tough enough to spot all those fakes, your first mistake But you've got something that survives A burnin' heart stays alive And now I wish you could do with me Oh baby you just couldn't see
(INSTRUMENTAL)
He'll give you your something, adds up to nothing, and your heart breaks
