Loose Ends

[Verse 1] We met out on open streets when we had no place to go I remember how my heart beat when you said "I love you so" Then little by little, we choked out all the life that our love could hold Oh no [Chorus] It was like we had a noose and baby, without check We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other, darlin', to say when Well, baby, you can meet me tonight on the loose end [Verse 2] We didn't count tomorrows, we took what we could and, baby, we ran There was no time for sorrow, every place we went, I held your hand And when the night closed in, I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know But oh, no [Chorus] It was like we had a noose and baby, without check We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other, darlin', to say when Well baby, you can meet me tonight on the loose end [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 3] Our love has fallen around us like we said it never could We saw it happen to all the others, but to us, it never would Well, how could something so bad, darlin', come from something that was so good? I don't know [Chorus] It was like we had a noose and baby, without check We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other, darlin', to say when Well baby, you can meet me tonight on the loose end [Outro] On the loose end On the loose end On the loose end On the loose end On the loose end On the loose end On the loose end On the loose end
