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 it again Yes, those clouds are closing in 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 I have 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 the hungry just can't see One of these days You're gonna bring some home to me Six o'clock in the morning You ain't home I can't help thinking that's strange It seems that everybody takes their chances These days Oh yeah we're standing in the rain And I will not accept this as part of my life How can you love me When you are 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
