She'll lie and steal and cheat And beg you from her knees Make you thinks she means it this time She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair But I still love her, I don't really care When we were young Oh oh, we did enough When it got cold Ooh ooh, we bundled up I can't be told Ah ah it can't be done It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all The opposite of love's indifference So pay attention now I'm standing on your porch screaming out And I won't leave until you come downstairs So keep your head up, keep your love Keep your head up, my love Keep your head up, my love Keep your head up, keep your love And I don't blame ya dear For running like you did, all these years I would do the same, your best believe And the highway signs say we're close But I don't read those things anymore I never trusted my own eyes When we were young Oh oh, we did enough When it got cold, Ooh ooh we bundled up I can't be told, Ah ah, can't be done Keep your head up, keep your love Keep your head up, my love Keep your head up, my love Keep your head up, keep your love Head up, love Head up, love Head up, love Head up, love
