作曲 : Tofer Brown/Carter Faith/Steph Jones

I tried to run away

I tried to run 'em off

I loved 'em in the dark

Till the lights came on

Always let 'em go

Always let 'em down

Only let 'em in

If I knew they were leaving town

But oh, how the tables turn, honey

You'll stick around if I'm lucky

Ooh, I'm putty when I'm in your arms

You've reminded me that I'm still a lover at heart

Never stood by no man

Never did really understand how

Someone could just fall into forever

I'm biting my tongue now, never say never

'Cause oh, how the tables turn, honey

You'll stick around if I'm lucky

Ooh, I'm putty when I'm in your arms

You've reminded me that I'm still a lover at heart

More than just hopeless

I'm damn near pathetic, so desperate

I'd be such a wreck if you left

I would fall apart

But oh, how the tables turn, honey

You'll stick around if I'm lucky

Ooh, I'm putty when I'm in your arms

You've reminded me

You've reminded me

You've reminded me that I'm still a lover
