Lyrics:

\\n

Boy you\\u2019re gonna tire

\\n

Yourself right out pretending

\\n

That you can write a happy ending

\\n

To this story by yourself

\\n

\\u2018Cause it\\u2019s a long way

\\n

Across the wire

\\n

Ain\\u2019t no shame in falling

\\n

Just in being ashamed of calling

\\n

For a friend to come and help

\\n

Yeah it\\u2019s a long way

\\n

Across the wire

\\n

And it\\u2019s been a bad day

\\n

\\n

Boys you\\u2019re gonna tire

\\n

Yourselves right out pretending

\\n

That you can write a happy ending

\\n

To this story by yourselves

\\n

\\u2018Cause it\\u2019s a long way

\\n

Across the wire

\\n

Ain\\u2019t no shame in falling

\\n

Just in being ashamed of calling

\\n

For a friend to come and help

\\n

Yeah it\\u2019s a long way

\\n

Across the wire

\\n

And it\\u2019s been a bad day

\\n

\\n

But I bet it\\u2019ll get a little better

\\n

Bet it\\u2019ll get a little better

\\n

Boy let a buddy in I bet it\\u2019ll get a little better

\\n

\\n

Ourselves out pretending

\\n
