Anyone Else

Baby, I bought wine and roses on my way home
Yeah, I know we can't afford it but life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half crazy and knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try and tell you I love you for hangin' on to me

When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through

Yeah, anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on account of rain
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you

Mayday baby, all the rivets popped loose, it's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone, too little time with you, girl, you know it's wearing thin
Baby, let's trade in these teardrops for warm kisses on skin
You got a drawer full of I.O.U's and it's high time you called those things in

When anyone else would've been long gone

Packed it up and headed back home

And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through

Yeah, anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on account of rain
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you

You've passed up so many chances to walk right out the door
Instead of dodging a champagne cork
And watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor

When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And you can hide behind a Cheshire cat grin but you know it's true

Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on account of rain
Anyone else, anyone else, anyone but you

Anyone but you
Girl, anyone but you
