Standin’ at the back door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hardwood
It fell like broken glass
She said "sometimes love slips away
And you just can’t get it back
But that would be like pourin’ raindrops
So she took another step and said
"I see the way out and I’m gonna take it"
I don’t wanna spend my life jaded
To wake up one day and find
That I let all these years go by
But it still don’t kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink
And pours it down the drain
He said "it’s time to be a man
And stop livin’ for yesterday
Cause I don’t wanna spend my life jaded
Oh I don’t wanna keep on wishin’
I ain’t spendin’ no more time
Till the moon and the sun were
And his eyes were clear for the first time
Oh I don’t wanna spend my life jaded
