I should know better than to mess with you
When I know only that the best will do
And then 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 (Dry)
(Ooh) You left me hanging on a clothesline
(Ooh) Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
When you're standing on a landmine
Wait for the explosion
(Ooh) You left me hanging on a clothesline
(Ooh) 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 the 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
(Ooh) You left me hanging on a clothesline
(Ooh) Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
When you're standing on a landmine
Wait for the explosion
(Ooh) You left me hanging on a clothesline
(Ooh) Come on, I'm just whipping the wind
Healing in the sunshine
Until we're close again
(Ah-ah)
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 landmine
Don't wait for the explosion
(You left me hanging, you left me hanging)
You left me hanging on a clothesline (Clothesline)
Come on, I'm just whipping the wind (I've been standing)
(I've been standing) Standing in the sunshine
(I've been standing in the sunshine) Until we're close again
(You left me hanging, you left me hanging)
You left me hanging on a clothesline (Clothesline)
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind (I've been standing)
(I've been standing) When you're standing on a landmine
(I've been standing on a landmine) Don't wait for the explosion
(You left me hanging, you left me hanging)
You left me hanging on a clothesline (Clothesline)
Come on, I'm just whipping the wind (I've been healing)
(I've been healing) And I've been healing in the sunshine
(I've been healing in the sunshine) Until we're close again
