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 kisses me softly to wake me up
Then takes my place in bed

And I fall
I live with one concern
It's the law of
Diminishing returns
It's the law of
Diminishing returns

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
Peeking 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 law of
Diminishing returns
And I fall
I live with one concern
It's the law of
Diminishing returns

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