Put down the cigarettes
Don’t take those sleepin’ pills
Stay up and talk to me
Cause I wanna be with you
Nobody’s callin me
There’s nowhere to be tonight
So come in and lock the door
Cause I wanna be with you
Love’s never easy
And I know I’m hard on you
I think you realize you’re hard on me too
So when the going’s tough
We can’t put our weapons down
Cause this love’s strong enough to stay around
They can’t tear this fortress down
These people talk too much
And I’m a conversation piece
We can’t let ‘em split us up
Cause I wanna be with you
And I’m not a pay check
And you’re more than trailer trash
And a power too big for us
Has kept me here with you
Love’s never easy
And I know I’m hard on you
And I think you realize you’re hard on me too
So when the going’s tough
We can’t put our weapons down
Cause this love is strong enough to stay around
They can’t tear this fortress down
You know that talk is cheap
I speak my heart in melody
And I’ll use this song to say
That I want to be with you
