If you give a dog a bone
He will follow you home
And wait for ya
Until he's bored of ya
If you call my telephone
And leave a note at the tone
I won't ignore ya
Been waiting for ya

Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take

We're in a dimly lit restaurant
On the Lower East side

And you look gorgeous
Yeah, I adore ya
You're the only one I want
And I ain't one of your pawns
You look around the room
To see who looks at you

Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take

Loving you isn't hard
It's letting go that leaves a scar
Do you feel me too, in your heart?
Or hold me when I touch your burns

Come closer or stay away

I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take

Come closer or stay away
I can't take loving you halfway
I've learned to love the way you taste
The in-between, I cannot take
