Lovers Who Have Lost Their Cause

It really ain't a tryst if a heart don't break

You're just here to occupy her time and space

It isn't an affair if nobody cares

You're lovers who have lost your cause

After this is over, give him back his shirt

He'll just wring it out when he gets back to work

Her husband may have learned, it's no concern

So I guess you guys have got it made

Over the hill, but you justify it still

You must think this is the thrill to end all

You can just be lovers, you can't be friends

At least then the attraction is genuine

Maybe it's the baggage that turns you on

Now that all the danger's gone

After this is over, go back to your house

You don't have a single thing to talk about

Maybe for the best if it's just the sex

As long as you don't have to speak

Notorious affair, I don't think anybody cares

And the both of you would swear there's no fire

If this doesn't last, then you'll both look back and laugh

At the moment in your past that made you liars

Go ahead and tell her you won't be back

She isn't gonna take it like a heart attack

You can rest assured, you're both so bored

There won't be any drama, kid

Then when you were summoned to your den of sin

She would drop the hammer that did you in

There's another beau, you'll have to go

I guess she'd kick you to the skids

Sooner or late, you knew you were tempting fate

If you soar to heights so great you may fall

Let me be the first to say though this probably hurt

It will hardly be the worst day of them all

Tell me what you learned then from this

Love can be just too damn dangerous

And even though you thought she'd be the one

She beat you to the punch and now you've gotta run

She beat you to the punch and now you've gotta run

She beat you to the punch and now you've gotta run

Now you've gotta run
