Take these tears from my heart
                                Shelter me from the storm
                               The wind has blown away my scarf
                                 Gather me babe... safe and warm
                                    My eyes have seen experience
                                  The thieves stole my love
                                And sold it for a clearance price
                                 Oh, babe... I need a velvet glove
                                      I have spent all my time
                                    Searching for the perfect man
                                  Now... I find no one to hold my hand
                             You weaved me in your colored web
                                     Shot my love inside your veins
                                You chose her time instead
                                    Left me standing in the rain
                                       I even got down on my knees
                                   But you won't see the tears I cried
                                       Baby... I even begged you, please
                                     You looked me in my eyes and lied
                                          In your eyes, I saw the fear
                                     Your big excuse for running wild
                                         That's when I want to pull you near
                                                And hold you like a little child
                               She doesn't love you she only wants to put down
                 She doesn't love you- she only wants to put you on the ground
                                 You're having an affair with an addiction  
                                       You're reaching the point of no hope  
                                     You're having an affair with an addiction
                                         You've got your spoon and your dope
                                Let her go set us free-let her go set us free
                                  Let her go set us free-let her go set us free
