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

Here's to an answer to your prayers!! (One idea: be careful every time -- what you first see isn't necessarily what you get in the end,...is it?!) Best of luck, gw
