Anyone Else

Baby I bought wine and roses

On my way home

Yeah, I know we can't afford it

But life doesn't last too long

This world has gone crazy

And knocked us both to our knees

I'm fumbling for the words to try

And tell you I love you

For hanging onto me

When anyone else

Would've been long gone

Packed it up and headed back home

And not a soul would blame you

After what I put you through

Yeah, anyone else

Would've gone insane

Called the game on account of rain

Anyone else, anyone else, anyone else,

Anyone but you

Mayday, baby, all the rivets

Popped loose it's a total tailspin

Too much grindstone

Too little time with you, girl

You know it's wearing thin

Baby let's trade in these teardrops

For warm kisses on skin

You got a drawer full of IOU's

And it's high time

You called those things in

When anyone else

Would've been long gone

You've passed up so many chances

To walk right out the door

Instead of dodging

A champagne cork

And watching the wet clothes

Fall to the floor

When anyone else

Would've been long gone

Packed it up and headed back home

And you can hide behind

A Cheshire cat grin

But you know it's true

Yeah, anyone else

Would've gone insane

Called the game on account of rain

Anyone else, anyone else,

Anyone but you

Anyone else, girl, anyone but you
