On the Attack

It's taken so long

So long to be

The measure the man

I hoped I would be

I take a step forward

I take two steps back

I can't help but be bored

Unless I'm on the attack

And attacking's alright

We were up on the hill

Where the blueberries grow

With time to kill

I started to fall

And it got hard to breathe

And it got hard to relax

It's hard to face yourself

When you're still busy looking back

And attacking's alright

My love, please understand

My love, please understand

We're alone in this world

Doing all we can

To find somebody

To love and to hold

With a good warm heart

'Cause it's getting cold

Honey please, try and understand

It's time to love your man

I met a blonde girl

She took me into her bed

I wanted her body

She wanted me dead

On a cool, summer evening

I woke from a dream

Scared of something that was

Inside of me

My love, please understand

Jessie my love, please understand

We're alone in this world

Every woman, every man

Trying to find somebody

To love and to hold

With a good, warm heart

And it's getting cold

Honey please, try and understand

It's time to love your man
