We been runnin' away from   Somethin' we both know   We've long run out of things to say   And I think I better go      So don't be gettin' excited   Oh, when you hear that slammin' door   'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps   On your floor in the mornin'      And we've been hidin' from somethin'   That should have never gone this far   But after all it's what we've done   Makes us what we are      And you been talkin' in silence   Well, if it's silence you adore   Oh, baby, one less set of footsteps   On your floor in the mornin'      Well, baby   One less set of footsteps on your floor   It's one less man to walk in   One less pair of jeans on your door   One less voice a-talkin'      But tomorrow's a dream away   Today has turned to dust   Your silver tongue has turned to clay   And your golden rule to rust      If that's the way that you want it   Oh, that's the way I want it more   Well, they'll be one less set of footsteps   On your floor in the mornin'      Well, there'll be   One less set of footsteps on your floor   One less man to walk in   One less pair of jeans on your door   One less voice a-talkin'      But tomorrow's a dream away   And today has turned to dust   Your silver tongue has turned to clay   And your golden rule to rust      If that's the way that you want it   Oh, that's the way I want it more   'Cause baby, one less set of footsteps   On your floor in the mornin'   Oh, baby, one less set of footsteps   On your floor in the mornin'
