Hey, baby, I hear what you're saying
There's truth in your words, but there's the truth in mine
Hey, baby, the games you're playin'
I'm finding it hard just to walk your line

You didn't always get what you wanted
And you can't give what I need

Hey, baby, quit messin' around
You've got your ways, baby, I've got mine
Baby, baby, I've let you down
Maybe one too many times

You didn't always get what you wanted
And you can't give what I need

So save my soul, and let me go
You got my life in your hands
Stand by me or set me free
Can't put no price on my head
But you've cut the line, now I'm bled
I've been left for dead

Save my soul, and let me go
Stand by me or set me free

Hey, baby, I hear what you're saying
There's truth in your words, but there's truth in mine
Baby, baby, I've let you down
Maybe one too many times

It don't always come wrapped in roses
And you've been the thorn inside of me

Save my soul, and let me go
You got my life in your hands
Stand by me, or set me free
Can't put no price on my head
My bloodied words never read
Don't close your eyes or turn your head
You've cut the line, now I'm bled
I've been left for dead
