They Steal the Life Out of Me
Up all night flirting with these ladies
That live so far out of sight
It's just not right how it feels
when I find out they're not honest with me
They know I'm going to ask why
I just want to spread my wings into flight
To find some protection
From there lying infection
Constantly pulling me in so many directions
I really have to do something
about how I select them
I spend more time deflecting
Then I do detecting this kind of infection
I need to get my feet under me
And head in a whole new direction
Oh lord how I need your protection
From these lying women
That steal the life out of me
Love is supposed to be happy and free
Why can't these women see
What they are doing to me
Always coming up empty
Oh lord cant you find
Some way to affect their minds
So I don't feel so blind
Constantly like I'm In rewind
Cant, you find a way to protect me
Cause it's not possible to mend
what started out to be friends
Not when they pretend
That only sends a message that offends
When they play that way
Oh lord I pray
That you send a good woman my way
One that doesn't want to play me in any way
