Baby, I bought wine and roses on my way home
Yeah,
I know we can't afford it,
but life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half crazy and knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try to
tell you I love you for hanging on to me
When anyone else would have been long
gone Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah,
anyone else would have gone insane Called the game on the counterane
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you
Mayday baby,
all the rivets popped loose,
it's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone, too little time with you
Girl, you know it's wear and thin
Well,
baby,
let's trade in these teardrops for warm kisses on skin
You've got a drawer full of IOUs,
and it's high time you call those things in
When anyone else would have been long
gone Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah,
anyone else would have gone insane Called the game on the counterane
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you
You've passed up so many chances to walk right out that door
Instead I'm dodging a champagne cork and
watching the wet clothes fall to the floor
When anyone else would have been long
gone Packed it up and headed back home
You can hide behind a chest or cat grin,
but you know it's true
Yeah,
anyone else would have gone insane Called the game on the counterane
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you
Anyone else
Girl,
anyone but you
