The Only Love I Can Get

The Only Love I Can Get Lyrics

He's there up on the stage
Howlin' at the moon
His heart and soul
Are on the line for you
You know it ain't for glory
You know it ain't for greed, no
It's a deeper, desperate need
To be what he's got to be
And sometimes it's so hard
Sometimes he goes too far
And sometimes he gets so low
And if you ask him why, he'll tell you

It's the only love that I can get
The only love that I can get
Well, it may be wrong, and it won't last long
But it's the only love that I can get
She's there out on the ledge
Sayin' I'm gonna take the leap
You'd better talk me down
Or I'll end up a lifeless heap
With her freinds and family beggin'
You've got so much to live for
With the lights and cameras trained on her
She gets what she wished for
And sometimes it's so hard
Sometimes she goes too far
And sometimes she gets so low
And when they asked her why, she'll tell you

And sometimes it's so hard
Sometimes he goes too far
And sometimes he gets so low
And if you ask him why, he'll tell you
It's the only love that I can get
The only love that I can get
Well, it may be wrong and it won't last long
But it's the only love that I can get
