There was a time, not long ago,
And then again, I have my friends.
Why should I ever want to
Still I see I'm fighting for my love
Fighting for my right to keep him evermore
I know he's slipping through my fingers
And I feel I've won the fight
It seems so strange, although I tried
And now I cried, but then again
to make me feel good, still I see
I'm fighting for my love,
I know he's sleeping through my fingers
I've won the fight but lost the war
I know he's slippin' through my fingers
and I've been up on the fight
still I see I'm fighting for my love
Fighting for my right to keep him evermore
I know he's slipping through my fingers
And I feel I've won the fight
I know he's slipping through my fingers,
and I feel I'm gonna fight
fighting for my right to keep him evermore
I know he is stepping through my fingers
And in a bit I'll put a pipe along the wall
