I thought I heard you on the radio

lyrics

I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU ON THE RADIO
LAST NIGHT ABOUT A QUARTER TO THREE
YOU WERE SINGING A SONG
I THINK IT WAS ABOUT ME

I HEARD YOU TELLING LOTS OF LIES
AND IT HURT ME REALLY BAD
TO HEAR YOU TELLING THOSE TALES
AND TO TELL THE TRUTH
IT REALLY MAKES ME MAD

YOU'RE BURNING TOO MANY CANDLES AT TOO MANY ENDS
BUT WHEN YOU BURNED THAT ONE YOU KNOW YOU REALLY BURNED A FRIEND

NOW YOU'RE LIVING ON THE HILL
YOU'RE MAKIN PILES OF MONEY AT LAST
AND WE'RE READING THOSE STORIES ABOUT A LIFE SO LOOSE AND FAST

(BUT I'M WARNING YOU BABY)
YOU'LL GO DOWN THE SAME WAY THAT YOU WENT UP
YOU'RE GONNA MEET THE SAME EOPLE AT THE BOTTOM THAT YOU KNEW AT THE TOP

BUT YOU CHOSE THE LIFE YOU'RE LIVING THE SAME WAY I CHOSE MINE
I GOT A FOREHEAD I'M KISSING
THAT LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW DIME

SO I'M STANDING AT THE STOVE
HEATING MILK AT QUARTER TO THREE
TELL ME WHO'S GOT IT BETTER
YOU OR ME?
