clothesline

The All-american Rejects

I should know better than to mess with you
When I know only that the best will do
And when you whisper to me softly, tenderly, and sweetly
Nothing more that you can do

I think I lied about the people that we used to be
Young, dumb, and pretty
Sinners in the city
Ain t it just a pity
You could put me out to dry?

You left me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I m just whipping the wind
When you re standing on a land mine
Wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on. I m just whipping the wind
Healing in the sunshine
Until we re close again

I m running, while you re standing in place
I know that you re worth more than the chase
You re slapping the smile off my face
I guess I like wasting time

And you re changing with the weather
Whenever we re together
I still like dancing in the rain
And then the winds change
Know I ll never be the same

You left me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I m just whipping the wind
When you re standing on a land mine
Wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on. I m just whipping the wind
Healing in the sunshine
Until we re close again

Love me or leave me
Just say that you need me
Or don t, and I ll just be waving
Lost in your breeze
And all that I need
Is your saving

Don t leave me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I m just whipping the wind
When you re standing on a land mine
Don t wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on. I m just whipping the wind
And I ll be standing in the sunshine
Until we re close again

You left me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I m just whipping the wind
When you re standing on a land mine
Wait for the explosion

You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on. I m just whipping the wind
And I ll be healing in the sunshine
