Life Without Parole

In showing her affection

I’m made her middle man

She promised me protection

And money in the bank

She said she’d never leave me

Or just the odd break

So I was getting greedy

’Cause she’s got what it takes

And I take what I’m given

Come to me, come to me

Talent is no guarantee

Come to me, come to me

Help me save my energy

I’m bending over backwards

Just to satisfy her soul

All she ever gave to me

Was life without parole

She took me for a dander

Told stories on the way

’Bout the goose and the gander

And when she’s gonna pay

She treats me like a hostage

And takes me for a fool

I guess that’s what I am now

’Cause she’s got what it takes

And she takes what she’s given...

Come to me, come to me

Talent is no guarantee

Come to me, come to me

Help me save my energy

I’m bending over backwards

Just to satisfy her soul

All she ever gave to me

Was life without parole

Time, I’m doing time, I’m doing fine

But I’ve got to be prepared

For going it alone

In time, I’m doing time, I’m doing fine

But my prison won’t be shared

When she goes out on her own
