It's been hard times for everyone Costs twice the money For only half the fun And that ain't no lie? Collectors at the back door Con men in the mail I gotta get my act together 'Fore they throw my ass in jail Just as long as you tell me you love me Just as long as you tell me you care Just as long as you say that you love me You know I ain't going nowhere I been trying to keep on top But everything I own, everything I own Is in the pawn shop Ooh, the city got no feeling Don't care about me at all And girl, I sure hope you'll be there I sure hope you'll be there, baby To catch me if I fall Sooner or later, I'm gonna turn myself around Gonna get back on the good street Gonna be on the rebound If we can just get through the bad times You know we got it made, baby It's like walking in the sunshine after standing in the rain We're gonna make it, baby, if we stay together We gotta learn to deal with stormy weather Just as long as you tell me you love me Just as long as I know you care I won't never have to worry 'Cause I know that you'll be standing there Just as long as you tell me you love me Just as long as I know you care Just as long as you say that you love me Everything will be alright
