lyrics

Darling, you're getting to be
A craving that I can't feed
You’re charming like the pictures
All smiles and gallant gestures
I'm trying not to let you get to me

Laughter spills from your mouth
And I shouldn't get attached to that sound
I'm not so bold as to go chasing
Sunbeams in dark places
But what would I do without your light around?

Nobody drew me a map
Nobody said "Don't do that"
I'd come right out if I knew how to ask
For who I can't have

Darling, it's hard not to fall
For the golden boy, the prize upon the wall
But you're not mine for the taking
I'm just yours for the breaking
And it comes across a telephone call

(Chorus)

But tell me this, tell me honestly
When you came running down the street
Did you know yours was just the face
I wanted to see?

Nobody drew me a map
And now I can't find my way back
'Cause me to you's a treacherous path

(Chorus)
