And when she turns away from me I don't know where to look I've tried my best, done everything They've written in the book I know it's not a fantasy 'Cause this thing is too real Maybe she's trying to break the man in me But she don't know how I feel I've got to get it together Ain't gonna stay here forever Got to show that it's not alright Hold on to my integrity so tight (I can't wait no more That's right walking out the door Should have done it long ago but you know When you know that you're out of time) Why must you treat me so? Lady, I want you to know How I truly do feel And lately it hurts me I'm wishing that this wasn't real My love, my time, my heart, my soul All waste in vain And I put it to you, there's nothing left Release me and ease the pain I've got to get it together Ain't gonna stay here forever Got to show that it's not alright Hold on to my integrity so tight (I can't wait no more That's right walking out the door Should have done it long ago but you know When you know that your out of time) Why must you treat me so?
