Well, I've been out enough
And surely I've been away
What it's worth to come back to
Makes it worse today, oh
Hiding things in the corners
All the things from the past
But the paintings remind me
That we were too overcast, oh
Never count on a tiger
Never play with a fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, that's the law of life
I've been filled up with hunger
For a mate to be mine
I've been building a house too
Like I've been building desire, oh
Never count on a tiger
Never play with a fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, that's the law of life
Sometimes wolves are despiteful
And sometimes they are blind
But my longing is frightful
I'm screaming time after time, oh
Never count on a tiger
Never play with a fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, yeah
Never count on a tiger
Never play with a fire
Don't remind me of home
'Cause I've been out in the west
Writing letters of love
Oh, that's the law of life
That's the law of life
The law of life
That's the law of life
