There's a couple of things I've learned   On the many roads I've taken   Flames are not what get you burned   It's the cold and the ice   Here's a piece of advice   I got from a little bird   The flames can get you   Stirred   It's the cold that leaves you shaken   I don't like to philosophize   I just want to tell a story   Always leave when a woman cries   Never look in a woman's eyes   You'll get stuck with a high and rising fever   And then you can't leave her   Please, don't wait man   It's almost too late man   She cries and you want to hold her   She lies and you want to run away   But just give her a minute   I promise you're in it to stay   She smiles and you'll stay forever   She screams   Well, that's the price you pay   But there's no one can make you   Forget how you feel   For all she can take   You've got more there to steal   So you don't mind a bit of surprise   And she cries   I don't like to admit I'm wrong   I believe in guts and glory   But it's time I should change my song   I've been here just a bit too long   Always thought I was much too strong for hating   And still I keep waiting...  And while I'm resolving   That door keeps revolving   She cries and you want to hold her   She lies and you're half way out the door   But you never can do it   She'll make you go through it once more   She smiles and you'll stay forever   She sings   Oh, she's got you now for sure   And each time that you swear   That you will not give in   She'll throw you a stare   That'll show you can't win   It's amazing how hard each man tries   But she cries   All of a sudden   You fall for her charms   You promise you'll stop all her tears   All of sudden   She's back in your arms   And the walls start closing   And blocking out the light   And changing all your dreams   And right before your eyes   She cries   And I don't know the answer   She spies   And there's no place I can hide   When I look in the mirror,  There's nothing but fear here inside   I run   And still she is right behind me   I fall   The chasm is too wide   So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique   Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week   But each time I prepare my goodbyes   Well, she catches me looking   And she opens the floodgates   And she cries
