One man born into sin One more time he got to take it on the chin But understanding is a crying shame When you're lying beneath her like a prisoner of love You're taking her to hell or to the heavens high above Or just lost somewhere in between So let's draw down the curtain on another night as I Tired to love you and too tired to fight Your beauty has faded like the dreams I've sold I should have gave you diamonds But all I gave you were tales of gold Where a woman comes with a heart in her hand One more time she tries to please her loving man But dear God he just don't understand When you're lying beneath her like a prisoner of love You're taking her to hell or to the heavens high above Or just die a little more every time I gave you one sweet promise And that was to be your loving man But it slips right through my hands like tales of gold So let's draw down the curtain on another night as I Too tired to love you and too tired to fight Your beauty has faded like the dreams I've sold I should have gave you diamonds But all I gave you were tales of gold Tales of gold Tales of gold Tales of gold
