We been runnin’ away from
Somethin’ we both know
We’ve long run out of things to say
And I think I better go

So don’t be getting excited
When you hear that slammin’ door
Cause there’ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin’

And we’ve been hidin’ from somethin’
That should have never gone this far
But after all it’s what we’ve done
That makes us what we are

And you been talkin’ in silence
Well if it’s silence you adore
There’ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin’

Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans up on your door
One less voice a-talkin’

They say that tomorrow’s a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust

If that’s the way that you want it
Well that’s the way I want it more
And there’ll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin’

Well there’ll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
One less man to walk in
One less pair of jeans up on your door
One less voice a-talkin’

They say that tomorrow’s a dream away
And today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust

If that’s the way that you want it
Oh that’s the way I want it more
There'll one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin’

Oh baby one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the mornin’

2. Well, it started out just like a dream
And like a dream
I knew that what we had
Would have to end

'Cause I was lookin' for a lifetime lover
And you were lookin' for a friend

Someone to be there after all your nighttime lovers
Had gone the way they came
Someone who knew the way
To help you play your daytime game
It's not the same

Well, I started out pretending
That I've come to mean enough to you
To make you want to change
Then I came to realize
That there was just too much of you you'd have to rearrange

And I couldn't bear to wait around
For all your nighttime lovers
To go the way they came
Then it came to hurt too much for me
To have to play your daytime game
No one's to blame

Well, it started out just like a dream
And like a dream
I knew that what we had
Would have to end

I was lookin' for a lifetime lover
And you were lookin' for a friend
I was lookin' for a lifetime lover
And you were lookin' for a friend

5. If you get to feelin' all alone
When your good time friends
have all got up and gone
Don't come knockin' around my door
Because I've heard your lines before

'Cause there ain't gone be a next time, this time
'Cause woman startin' right now
I'm gonna forget your name and your pretty face girl
And write you off as a bad mistake
You know that some women they are lovers
And some just got no sense
But a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men

And If you get to feelin' all alone
When you find that you can't make it on your own
Don't come knockin' around my door
You see I've seen your act before

And there ain't gonna be a next time, this time
'Cause woman startin' right now
I'm gonna forget your name and your pretty face girl
And write you off as a bad mistake
You know that some women they are lovers
And some just got no sense
But a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men

And If you get to feel' you where wrong
don't go wastin' your good money in the phone
'Cause I can hang up as fast as you can call
And that ain't all

'Cause there ain't gonna be a next time, this time
'Cause woman startin' right now
I'm gonna forget your name and your pretty face girl
And write you off as a complete disgrace
You know that some women they are liars
And some just got no sense
But a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men

Yeah a woman like you oughta be ashamed
Of the things that you do to men

4. .
Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener.
That is what I'd truly like to be.
'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener,
Ev'ryone would be in love with me.
