[Verse 1]
Oh love, oh love

Oh life, oh life
Please don't pass me by
Don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop when the red lights flash
Oh ride, free ride
Won't you take me close to you?
[Chorus]
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
[Interlude]
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Oh lights and action
I just can't be satisfied
Oh losers and choosers
Won't you please hold on to my life?
Oh hours and hours
Like the dog years of the day
Old story, same old story
Won't you see the light of day?
[Chorus]
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
[Bridge]
Talk myself out of feelin'
Talk my way out of control
Talk myself out of fallin' in love
Fallin' in love with you, say!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh love, oh love
Won't you rain on me tonight?
Oh ride, free ride
Won't you take me close to you?
[Chorus]
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
I'm wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Tonight, my heart's on the loose
Tonight, my heart's on the loose

Billie told MTV News:
Oh Love' is kind of like leading with your heart and not necessarily with your brain as much, and [also] kind of maybe losing your mind, and shooting a little bit more from the crotch area.
