I should known better than
to mess with you
when I know only that
the best will do
and when you
whisper to me softly
tenderly and sweetly
Nothing more that
you can do
I think I lied about
the people that
we used to be
Young dumb and pretty
sinners in the city
Ain't it just a pity
You could put me
out to dry
You left me hanging on
a clothesline
Ooh and I'm just
whipping the wind
when you're standing on
a land mine
wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on
a clothesline
Come on I'm just
whipping the wind
Healing in the sunshine
until we're close again
I'm running while you're
standing in place
I know that you're worth
more than the chase
You're slapping the smile
off my face
I guess I like wasting time
and you're changing with
the weather whenever
we're together I still
like dancing in the rain
and then the winds change
Know I'll never be the same
You left me hanging on
a clothesline
Ooh and I'm just
whipping the wind
when you're standing on
a land mine
Wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on
a clothesline
Come on I'm just
whipping the wind
Healing in the sunshine
until we're close again
Love me leave me
Just say that
you need me
or don't and I'll just
be waving
Lost in your breeze
and all that I need
is your saving
Don't leave me hanging on
a clothesline
Ooh and I'm just
whipping the wind
when you're standing on
a land mine
Don't wait
for the explosion
You left me hanging on
a clothesline
Come on I'm just
whipping the wind
and I'll be standing in
the sunshine
until we're close again
You left me hanging on
a clothesline
Ooh and I'm just
whipping the wind
when you're standing on
a land mine
Wait for the explosion
