well I took a look
at the palm of my hand
it was a whole new view of the lay of the land
well I read the signs
and they all came true
when I got that letter from you

well you had excuses
for the times in question
there were far too many to mention
well I should have known
but I would not see
until you wrote that letter to me

so tell me
what you gonna do, what you gonna do
with your time now
that this deception is over
well I should have known better, should have known better
should have know what you were
I should have known to take cover
well I should have known

well you were so cruel
you were so kind
so hard to resist but so hard to find
your words so sweet
or so they seemed
until you wrote that letter to me

so tell me
what you gonna do, what you gonna do
with your time now
that this deception is over
well I should have known better, should have known better
should have known what you were
should have known to take cover

so tell me
what you gonna do, what you gonna do
with your time now
that this deception is over
well I should have known better, should have known better
should have known what you were
should have known to take cover

what you gonna do, what you gonna do
with your time now
that this deception is over
well I should have known better, should have known better
should have known better what you were
should have known to take cover

we walk the edge together my sweet
we walk that fine edge
but we never did fall all the way in
open the door
it's much more than what side you wear your colours on
let me in, let me in
let's see how far we can feel
