You gave me too many chances, now it´s drivin´ us apart
I keep on runnin´ with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, ´cause you never let it show

I know I´m hanging on the edge now, but I won´t let go

I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I´m trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart

If you gave me three wishes, I´d throw two of them away
I´ve seen that look in your eye girl, I´d use the last one this way
We´ve been from rags to riches, but your love can´t be bought

I´m just a junkyard dog, girl, who´s afraid he´s been caught

You´re standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldn´t be further from the truth

Stay away, stay away from my heart - I´m doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart

Remember how it used to be girl, makin´ love like it´s the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what we´d found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down

(Instrumental break)

I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, I´m doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart...
