On the Fence

Well, I'm afraid that it's true
I'm leaving you.
But rest assuredtomorrow
I'll be home.
Cuz you know
I never could,
I never was no good,
Lord knows, at being on my own.
Never been the typeto wanna settle down,or never had the nerve to ramble on.
So I'm leaving here tonightbut
I'll be back before dawn,so leave the light onand keep my supper warm.
Never been a fighter or a lover.
Never thought that either made much sense.
And I can't decide on this way or the otherso
I live my life just sitting on this fence.
And today
I feel restlessbut tomorrow
I won't fret this.
And there's no tellingwhat this boy might do.
But baby, guarantee"the moment that I'm freethat that's when I'll come crawlin' back to you."
Never been a fighter or a lover.
Never thought that either made much sense.
And I can't decide on this way or the otherso
I live my life just sitting on this fence.
And I don't know how you stand it.
Don't know why you stay.
But I know you never planned itto turn out this way.
And I would understand itif you couldn't take anymoreof me always keeping one foot out the door.
And I want to get married.
I want to raise a family.
Do the things that normal people do.
But what self-respecting womanwould ever have me and not stab mewhen
I wanna have my cake and eat it, too?
Never been a fighter or a lover.
Never thought that either made much sense.
And I can't decide on this way or the otherso
I live my life just sitting on this fence.
Yeah, I live my life just sitting on this fence.
And I'll probably die just sitting on this fence.
