He's on my mind, and I wish he wasn't
He's twisting up my better judgment
And all day long I play back the night before
His lips on mine and my pride on the floor
You'd think the sun would kill him, cause he runs when it rises
He's nowhere to be found, until it goes back down
Then here we are dancing round a candlelit flame
He steals me in the shadows every time he says my name
But he never tells me what he's thinkin'
Only wants me when he's drinkin'
He says he loves us just the way we are
He only calls me pretty in the dark
There's no small talk or coffee in the morning
Oh Lord, that should've been my first warning
‘Cause I don't know his friends and he don't know my middle name
He's got me where he wants me, and I'm the one to blame
Then here we are dancing round a candlelit flame
He steals me in the shadows every time he says my name
But he never tells me what he's thinkin'
Only wants me when he's drinkin'
He says he loves us just the way we are
He only calls me pretty in the dark
Will this love ever see the light of day
Or is it love at all if it's always slipping away
‘Cause here we are dancing round a candlelit flame
He steals me in the shadows every time he says my name
But he never tells me what he's thinkin'
Only wants me when he's drinkin'
He says he loves us just the way we are
He says he loves us just the way we are
He only calls me pretty in the dark
