And let you keep on living
And let you keep on living

"I'm alright," said the man to his wife
Waking up with a head full of bed

I'm the only thing that dies
If it came down to your life or mine
I would do the stupid thing
And let you keep on living
And let you keep on living
And let you keep on living
And let you keep on living
