Lovers Who Have Lost Their Cause

It really ain't a tryst if a heart don't break
You're just here to occupy a time and space
It isn't an affair if nobody cares
You're lovers who have lost their cause

After this is over, give him back his shirt
And he'll just wring it out when he gets back to work
Her husband may have learned, it's no concern
So I guess you guys have got it made

Over the hill
But you justify it still
You must think this is the thrill to end all

You could just be lovers, you can't be friends
At least then the attraction is genuine
Maybe it's the baggage that turns you on
Now that all the danger's gone

After this is over, go back to your house
You don't have a single thing to talk about
It may be for the best if just the sex
As long as you don't have to speak

A torrid affair
I don't think anybody cares
And the both of you would swear there's no fire
If this doesn't last
Then you'll both look back and laugh
At the moment in your past that made you liars

Go ahead and tell her you won't be back
She isn't gonna take it like a heart attack
You can rest assured, you're both so bored
There won't be any drama kid

Then when you were summoned to your den of sin
She would drop the hammer that did you in
There's another beau, you'll have to go
I guess she'll kick you to the skids

Sooner or late
You knew you were tempting fate
If you soared to heights so great, you may fall
Let me be the first
To say though this probably hurt
It will hardly the worst day of them all

Tell me what you learned then from this
Love can be just too damn dangerous
And even though you thought you'd the one
She beat you to the punch
And now you've gotta run

She beat you to the punch
And now you've gotta run
She beat you to the punch
And now you've gotta run
Now you've gotta run
