| I been known to say the wrong things in my time* | |
| Stumble when I was in my prime | |
| We cannot have it our way all the time, | |
| And you cannot have it your way all the time | |
| Does it have to happen like this? | |
| Does it have to be this way? | |
| Open your mouth and breathe on me | |
| I need your sensitivity | |
| Through the desert and ravine | |
| I see you in places you ain't been | |
| Pass me up and stall me one more time | |
| Distant arrangements in your mind | |
| Still another reason to live | |
| Still another reason to die | |
| Open your mouth and breathe on me | |
| I need your sensitivity | |
| Open your mouth and breathe on me | |
| Sting the very core of me... sting it now | |
| Won't you come and see me some time? | |
| Now that we've laid it on the line | |
| Linger a while and the truth | |
| Linger a while on the lies | |
| Won't you come and see me in my dreams? | |
| The only way we meet it seems | |
| Oh why lead me on? | |
| Oh why lead me on? | |
| Open up your mouth and breathe on me | |
| Open up your mouth and breath on me |
