She dropped the kids in day care
Drove off in the cold
She's gonna meet her new romance
Not wearing gold
Thirty-two but she looks twenty-two
Maybe that's why I looked at you
I guess you know you could be somewhere else
But the choices you've been makin'
Ain't good for my health

Out on the mezzanine
You sip Italian coffee
And you talk to your dream
Down in life's basement
I'm waiting for the lift
That'll take me to your floor

I don't wanna look at you
If I can't have you
I don't wanna dream about it
If I can't touch you

Sometimes you have no choice
I shoulda heard the words from your voice
When you said, I'm going Solo

I was waiting outside your door
Looking in your windows
One night you nearly caught me there
Climbing up the stairs

I know it's dumb to be doing this stuff
I tried growing up
But growing up is too rough

Come on Susie
Won't you save me from this pain
Invite me in for coffee
Get me out of this pouring rain

I don't wanna think about it
If I can't know you
I don't wanna talk to you
If I can't hold you
I don't wanna live without it
But I guess I have to

Sometimes you've got no choice
I shoulda heard the words from your voice
When you said, I'm going Solo

I don't wanna look at you
If I can't have you
I don't wanna dream about it
If I can't touch you
I don't wanna talk to you
If I can't hold you
I don't wanna live without it
But I guess I have to, have to

Well I guess I have to
I guess I have to
Well I guess I have to

Guess I have to
