The pictures flash across my eyes
All those well -usin',
all those lies
But that's the way the world goes,
that's the way it turns
A little loving spent is a
lot of living earned
All you do is to cut the cord
You know I'm sadder
than I ever was before
I'm the fool you
used to cut the cord
And though I'm dying now,
I'm bound to be reborn
Don't look for me,
cause I won't be here
Where were you then,
where are you now?
And if we meet in the distance,
yeah, if I'm in your part of town
Oh, don't let on you know
the girl you hit when she was down
All you do, boy, is you cut the cord
You know I'm sadder than
I've ever been before
All you do is cut the cord
An d though it feels like dying
I'm bound to be reborn
This time of night I'm
prone to cry
Especially when you are
not by my side
No explanations, there's a future to find
Or someday you'll be
the saddest song I'll ever write
All you do are use to cut the cord
An d though I'm sadder
than I've ever been before
While you do, I used to cut the cord
And though life feels like death,
I'm bound to be reborn
Don't look for me,
cause I won't be there
Where were you then?
Where are you now?
And in my dreams and fantasies
describe a perfect man
You were just a wonderful lover
but never enough of a friend
All you do is cut the cord
All you do is cut the cord
I do, I do, I do
