Limits To Love -

We’ve known her ever since she was a kid

She was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes

Her parents never minded what she did

She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face

But past a certain point she stayed behind

The two of us could never read her mind

The million ways she had of killing time

So we just gave up

Yeah we just gave up

'Cause sometimes, you know

There’s limits to love

We’d get impatient with her now and then

Oh, she’d smile and say, 'now you’re not being nice.'

I guess her definition of a friend

Was someone long on love, and short on advice

We gave her money but the money’s bad

She took the dollars and just tore them in half

We got so angry, we just had to laugh

But we still gave up

Yeah we still gave up

'Cause sometimes, you know

There’s limits to love

She’ll get in trouble but she will scrape through

Oh, she’s the kind of girl who can always find help

I’d say she’s stupid, but it’d be untrue

Oh, you’ve got to be smart if you’re fooling yourself

We tried to love her, but our love unwound
