Put down the cigarettes   Don’t take those sleepin’ pills   Stay up and talk to me   Cause I wanna be with you      Nobody’s callin me   There’s nowhere to be tonight   So come in and lock the door   Cause I wanna be with you      Love’s never easy   And I know I’m hard on you   I think you realize you’re hard on me too      So when the going’s tough   We can’t put our weapons down   Cause this love’s strong enough to stay around   They can’t tear this fortress down      These people talk too much   And I’m a conversation piece   We can’t let ‘em split us up   Cause I wanna be with you      And I’m not a pay check   And you’re more than trailer trash   And a power too big for us   Has kept me here with you      Love’s never easy   And I know I’m hard on you   And I think you realize you’re hard on me too      So when the going’s tough   We can’t put our weapons down   Cause this love is strong enough to stay around   They can’t tear this fortress down      You know that talk is cheap   I speak my heart in melody   And I’ll use this song to say   That I want to be with you
