My baby took a fast train, caught herself an airplane
Offered me her cheek, before she flew
With no future no promise, as if it all were harmless
But we're standing in different shoes
I don't want your pity, I want your love and you know it's true
Her heart lives in dreamland, but that's so far from where I stand
It's not a place, where I could go
Neither go nor know, time is moving slow
I play the waiting game, I play the waiting game
And in spite of this pain, you know I want you
I want you just the same, I want you just the same
Oh but she's a cat and she falls, but she lands on all four paws
Without her my flaws, are starting to show
The promises of hope, are something we hold true
But we ain't that young, anymore
Still I give my love and still I give you my heart
But love is hot love is cold then blue, love is cold then blue
I dont' want your pity, I want your love
So baby don't bluff me, just give me some of that stuff
I want ya so bad, it's been drivin' me mad
All night and day, what more can I do?
I don't want your pity, I want your love, and you know it's true
I know you know it's true, I know you know it's true, I know you know it's true
