won't you let me come inside?
i never was one much for pride
and i ain't done nothing that i should have pride for
your face is still my favorite prayer
but i see the lines that i put there
and i can't stand to break your heart no more
just wanna dance you across the bedroom
and hold you one last time
but that song ain't me, babe
i know you ain't still mine
the drugs have all done took their toll
i can't stay straight two days in a row
or say nothing to defend the things i've done
and after all the hell i put us through
i still lost me long before i lost you
but you know i don't do the stuff for fun
it holds me like a mother
and it loves me when i don't
but it hurts me like a lover
when you won't
and this town is changing every day
it ain't the same one that we used to know
but no matter what time may take away
my feelings for you
never go
i remember those long years ago
this same damn worn out radio
this same sweet old unchained melody
and the first time that i looked at you
is burned on me like a tattoo
but now's the last time you'll ever look at me
so let the song play on and on, dear
we'll just keep dancing slow
it says, "time goes by so slowly"
but we know it don't
yeah, we both know it don't
