She dropped the kids in day care Drove off in the cold She's gonna meet her new romance Not wearing gold Thirty-two but she looks twenty-two Maybe that's why I looked at you I guess you know you could be somewhere else But the choices you've been makin' Ain't good for my health Out on the mezzanine You sip Italian coffee And you talk to your dream Down in life's basement I'm waiting for the lift That'll take me to your floor I don't wanna look at you If I can't have you I don't wanna dream about it If I can't touch you Sometimes you have no choice I shoulda heard the words from your voice When you said, I'm going Solo I was waiting outside your door Looking in your windows One night you nearly caught me there Climbing up the stairs
I know it's dumb to be doing this stuff I tried growing up But growing up is too rough Come on Susie Won't you save me from this pain Invite me in for coffee Get me out of this pouring rain I don't wanna think about it If I can't know you I don't wanna talk to you If I can't hold you I don't wanna live without it But I guess I have to Sometimes you've got no choice I shoulda heard the words from your voice When you said, I'm going Solo I don't wanna look at you If I can't have you I don't wanna dream about it If I can't touch you I don't wanna talk to you If I can't hold you I don't wanna live without it But I guess I have to, have to Well I guess I have to I guess I have to Well I guess I have to Guess I have to
