Oh, am I fooling you?

Do you fall for it all

Or do you just see right through?

Are you as cool as you believe?

Oh, are you playing hard?

Are you waiting just to quietly clock my card?

Are you waiting for a moment to leave?

I don't know how I bent

What you said

To what I believe you meant

I don't know anything at all

I'm standing in the push and shove

And I'm just within the rescue

Of the labour of your love

I can't do anything but fall

A-fall, a-fall-fall-fall

Why do I feel like I can never find you?

Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?

Why am I thinking of

You and me and the labour of love?

One chance, one shot

Oh, that's all anybody ever got

Newborn, still warm

Naked in the rush hour

Dancing in my gutter

And if you want to find me, call me

I'll be far from the cars

And guitars and everybody

Why do I feel like I can never find you?

Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?

Why am I thinking of

You and me and the labour of love?

[Flute solo]

And I never knew before

But I feel like a child in a cold, cold war

So strong, so tough

Sitting in suburbia, waiting for the wind up

And I don't want to dance

I just want to jump from the prison of circumstance

Why am I thinking of

You and me and the labour of love?

Why do I feel like I can never find you?

Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor?

Why am I thinking of

You and me and the labour of love?
