Lyrics
The clever girl has a simple plan
but that complicated boy is going to take her by surprise
It's going to be awhile before she sees
But when she gets it all figured out
she's going to feel pretty damned deceived
(verse) Time take's its toll
I gave all that I could give
But the situations getting old
Time take's it's toll
Now I guess its time for me to walk out the door
Well that silly girl,she tried real hard
But she knew that something just wasn't right
She felt that he didn't love her anymore
He said he did, but she saw the light in his eyes
(verse) Time take's it's toll
I gave all that I could give
But the situations getting old
Time take's it's toll
Now I'm pretty sure that you don't want me anymore
Time take's it's toll
I gave all that I could give
Now I can't give anymore
Time take's it's toll
Now I guess its time for me to walk out that door
