Don't Tear Me Down

You call me up on the telephone,
You just got to know I sleep alone.
You like nothin' better, to hear me plead with you.
You like nothin' better, to know I'm still your fool.
You crazy bitch, who makes the rules??

I've been livin' a lie, livin' a lie.
I've been wonderin' why, wonderin' why..
You like to see me cry.

Chorus:
Alright.
Don't (Don't), don't tear me down.
(Don't), don't tear me down.
You said nothin' lasts forever.

You were the only one I like to hold.
But now you turn to ice, your touch is cold.
Now all you like to do is manipulate.
When you make love to me, it's just a simulate.
I can't take no shit no more, why do I try?

I've been livin' a lie, livin' your lie.
I've been wondering why, wondering why...
You like to see me cry.

Chorus:
Don't (Don't), don't tear me down.
(Don't), don't tear me down.
You said nothin' lasts forever, ever.

I said don't (Don't), don't tear me down,
(Don't), don't tear me down,
You said nothin' is forever, ever....Ooooh!!!!

Solo
