At The Gate You Will Wait

And Hesitate And You Will Lose

I've Got My Life To Live

You Must Take What You Make

From The Fake Without A Name

I've Nothing More To Give.



But If Pleasure Means Money, Then Take It All

I'll Make Sure I'm Out The Next Time You Call

I Know That Something Always Turns Up In The End

I've Been My Own Worst Friend.



I Was Blind, You Were Kind

Now I Find That I Was Shy

Nothing To Do But Leave

I Understand, It Was Planned

Like The Sand I'm High And Dry

I've No More Dreams To Weave.



But If Pleasure Means Money, Then Take It All

I'll Make Sure I'm Out The Next Time You Call

I Know That Something Always Turns Up In The End

I've Been My Own Worst Friend.



Like A Fool, I Was Cool

As A Rule It Works Out Fine

This Time It Worked Out Wrong

Now You've Turned, I Have Learned

And I've Earned That Which Is Mine

Why Not Take Me Along.



But If Pleasure Means Money, Then Take It All

I'll Make Sure I'm Out The Next Time You Call

I Know That Something Always Turns Up In The End

I've Been My Own Worst Friend.
