Well I only call you darling
Cos I know how much it bugs you
And darling, some habits are so hard to break
Think condescension is sexy?
Well, that's your mistake to make
So I learned about my power
And learned how not to say it
And I learned that I have things some people need
And no, I know it's not healthy
But it sure beats giving you the lead
If I ever would let down the walls
That protects me from you
I would say respect is due
But not in this lifetime
So maybe I'd have loved you
So maybe if you loved me
And maybe the Easter bunny exists
It's all the same to me now, dear
Yeah, but don't think I don't have those old lists
Now the guns are tired
Shoot bullets in slow motion
And all the soldiers have all gone home
And that's too bad
'Cos it was such a nice war, dear
Yeah, but it's time to leave well enough alone.
If I ever would let down the walls
That protects me from you
I would say respect is due
But not in this lifetime
Well I only call you darling
Because I really mean it
Don't take my word for it; I wouldn't take yours
And yet I know it's not healthy
Yeah, but it sure beats picking at age-old sores
So bon voyage, my darling
It was real good knowing you
That's French for "have a good trip," if you didn't know
'Cos condescension is sexy
And I don't know why, why you wouldn't think so
If I ever would let down the walls
That protects me from you
I would say respect is due
But not in this lifetimelyrics: G. Gross, C. Capek

You think that you're a hotshot lady drivin' everybody crazy
And the problem with it is that you're right, so baby maybe
Can you tell me if you're just a friend lookin' for someone to talk to
Or a lover to walk to.ÂÂÂ
It would be okay if you say that your day was bad
And that you're happy 'bout the friendship we have and all that.
It'd also be nice if I could hold you tight during the night,
Make it right till the broad daylight.ÂÂÂ
Can you tell me if it's love that you want, 'cause I don't know,
Is it friendship that you're dreamin' of, 'cause I don't know,
Are you seethin' or leavin' or cheatin', cause I don't know,
And don't tell me to take it slow, 'cause I'm takin' it slow.ÂÂÂ
And now I'm thinkin' that I've been here before, been here before,
And I'm thinkin' that I've done this before, done this before,
I'm thinkin' that I'm livin' for more, livin' for more,
So baby maybe tell me if I'm crazy but do you want more?ÂÂÂ
Refrain: (2x)
Will you be livin' this life, baby, dreamin' of me
Or will you spend your days with no feelings for me
Or might it be that every minute you'll be seethin' for me,
Breathin' for me, grievin' for me, you're cheatin' on meÂÂÂ
You know you're drivin' me insane with all the things that you're sayin'
And then you're drivin' me insane with all the games that you're playin'
It ain't a game and I'm not impressed, I want nothing less than to know,
Is it for real or just show?ÂÂÂ
If it's real, then I'll take you to the top, never stop,
Like a top notch, hot shot girl, I'll give you all that I've got,
If it's not and we're just friends,
Then tell me, before the friendship ends.ÂÂÂ
And now I'm thinkin' that I've been here b
