I hope you know why You're taking me for a ride I'm taking it on the chin Protecting the parts where the anger's been When it's deep inside And each day my hope subsides It's killed by your reasons why Chalking it up to fate What's to become of the injured hate When it won't die Chorus: And though I'd like to sail away Your eyes just drag me down Into another stormy day So I've got to get away Someday I'll realize Why you wouldn't be my bride I wish you could take the hit 'Cause your luck becomes what you make of it But you have to try And though I'd like to sail away Your eyes just drag me down Into another lonely day Won't you save me I'm taking it on the chin Protecting the parts where the anger's been When it's deep inside Chorus
