'Til Tuesday
"Limits To Love"


Verse: 1
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

Chorus:
So we just gave up
yeah we just gave up
'cause sometimes, you know
there's limits to love

Verse 2:
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

Chorus:
but we still gave up
yeah we still gave up
'cause sometimes, you know
there's limits to love

Verse 3:
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 (so our love was weak)
We talked about her when she wasn't around (so our talk was cheap)
and still we felt that we were letting her down

Chorus:
'cause we just gave up
yeah we just gave up
'cause sometimes, you know
there's limits to love

Sometimes you know
there's limits to love
