Baby I bought wine and roses On my way home Yeah, I know we can't afford it But life doesn't last too long This world has gone crazy And knocked us both to our knees I'm fumbling for the words to try And tell you I love you For hanging onto me When anyone else Would've been long gone Packed it up and headed back home And not a soul would blame you After what I put you through Yeah, anyone else Would've gone insane Called the game on account of rain Anyone else, anyone else, anyone else, Anyone but you Mayday, baby, all the rivets Popped loose it's a total tailspin Too much grindstone Too little time with you, girl You know it's wearing thin Baby let's trade in these teardrops For warm kisses on skin You got a drawer full of IOU's And it's high time You called those things in When anyone else Would've been long gone You've passed up so many chances To walk right out the door Instead of dodging A champagne cork And watching the wet clothes Fall to the floor When anyone else Would've been long gone Packed it up and headed back home And you can hide behind A Cheshire cat grin But you know it's true Yeah, anyone else Would've gone insane Called the game on account of rain Anyone else, anyone else, Anyone but you Anyone else, girl, anyone but you
