[Verse 1]
I was on the telephone acting as your alibi
Then right in the middle, I cut the cord with no goodbye
I'm through taking a fall for you
Well, I'm through taking a fall for you
[Verse 2]
I was sleeping by the television
You came through the picture screen
Tried to make a small incision
Plant your picture in my dream
I'm through taking a fall for you
Well, I'm through taking a fall for you
[Verse 3]
Well now, I feel all right when I'm wining and dining
Feeling what the night is all about
But then the room is swaying, the alarm clock is ringing
Nobody hears me when I twist and shout, shout, shout
I broke down in your loading zone
The weight of all your promises
Find another chaperone, love to talk me out of it
I'm through taking a fall for you
Well, I'm through taking a fall for you
[Verse 3]
Well now, I feel all right when I'm wining and dining
I'm feeling what the night is all about
And the room is reeling, the alarm clock is ringing
Nobody hears me when I twist and shout, shout, shout
I broke down in your loading zone
The weight of all your promises
Find another chaperone 'cause you just talked me out of it
I'm through taking a fall for you
Well, I'm through taking a fall for you
[Outro]
I won't take another fall for you
(Fall for you)
I won't take another fall for you
(Fall for you)
