Every man I fall for
Drinks his coffee black
Love and hate are tattooed on his knuckles, and
My name is on his back

Every man I fall for
Works the graveyard shift
He kiss me softly to wake me up
Then takes my place in bed

And I fall
I live with one concern
It's the love
Diminish and return
It's the love
Diminish and return

Every man I fall for
Keeps his anger on a string and holds it tight
When other men walk by blinking their eyes at me
He always picks a fight

I go walk alone down Ocean Boulevard
Peek in your windows
Tired housewives naggin' at their husbands, but
Is this the life you chose?

And I fall
I live with one concern
It's the love
Diminish and return
And I fall
I live with one concern
It's the love
Diminish and return

Every man I fall for
Nearly every man
Every man I fall for
Nearly every man
