I gotta get to running You know you're really much too hard on me And though I'll always need you, I know I'll never please you You know you're really much too hard on me (2) Oh yeah Skin tight leather on satin sheets Now she's got me surrounded I can't swim when the water's too deep She makes me feel like I'm drowning Here she comes movin' in for the kill A smooth black widow on my windowsill And if I ever live to tell... She's one third heaven and two thirds hell Chorus 1 I know her story all too well Too little heaven for so much hell Chorus: And when I see you coming ... I gotta get to running You know you're really much too hard on me - hard on me And though I'll always need you, I know I'll never please you You know you're really much too hard on me (2) Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Why Is It Never Enough (Ziller / Lessmann) 4:10 (Acoustic Slide Guitars by Hans Ziller) Yeah Always was a gypsy ... but not because of love But I never was an angel ... when the road was getting rough Just like a boomerang ... thrown into the blue I'll always come back to you, yeah I hate to say farewell I got to leave you again But all I have inside is staying with you And the wind sings its song Chorus: Tell me why is it never enough And why I'm running away from your love Tell me - why is it never enough Must be another dream that I'm dreaming of Yeah I'm sitting by a river ... in a god-forsaked town I feel a little homesick ... and I'm feeling down The river keeps flowing ... and I have to keep on going There's nothing I can't do, no I'm never satisfied I want it all ... at one time And I raise my questions to the sky But there is no reply Chorus I hate to say farewell...
