LIFELINE
(©2010 Gus Washbourne)

Don’t just stand there, throw me a lifeline
Your love’s like quicksand suckin’ me down
Don’t just stand there, throw me a lifeline
Put me back where I was before love came to town

I been a Iot of places with a Iot of nice guys like you
But no one sucks my blood like you do
I can’t even have a beer on my own
Without you having a whinge and a moan

Don ‘t just stand there throw me a lifeline
I can feel my life force slippin’ away
Don’t just stand there, throw me a lifeline
Give me one good reason why I should stay

You sit in your chair like you don ‘t really care, abusing
That’s something I don’t find very amusing
I know I’m not perfect but I tried really hard for you
But that didn’t work and I don’t know what to do

Please let me go let me out of your life
I can’t be your lover and I won’t be your wife
We just fight together and we’re happy apart
Let me go from here and make a new start

Sex ain’t the solution it feels like prostitution to me
If your gonna give your love you’ve got to give it for free
It‘s a lifetime commitment not a casual thing I need
So darlin’ let me go don ‘t make me bleed

Don’t just stand there, throw me a lifeline
I can feel my life force slippin’ away

REPEAT x2
