It's a long long way to the top of the world of love We've been climbing, but we didn't climb high enough You told me that you loved me, but not enough to change your name We wound up in the ashes, but we sure went down in flames I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you Lord I feel a little shattered, been a little battered My heart's black and blue Well we turned love every way but loose Now we're gonna turn it that way too I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you It's a long way back when you've gone as far as you can go The wheels of love are a turning, they're just a turning a little slow I'm hurting just a little and you're bound to hurt a little too And it's gonna take a lotta woman to love me like you used to do I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you Lord I feel a little shattered, been a little battered My heart's black and blue Well we turned love every way but loose Now we're gonna turn it that way too I ain't giving up on love, I'm just giving up on you
