We met out on open streets
When we had no place to go
I remember how my heart beat
When you said "I love you so"
Then little by little
We choked out all the life that out love could hold oh, no
It's like we held a noose
And baby without check
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other
Darling to say when
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end
We didn't count tomorrows
We took what we could and baby we ran
There was no time for sorrow
Every place we went I held your hand
And when the night closed in
I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know oh, no
It's like we held a noose
And baby without check
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other
Darling to say when
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end
Our love has fallen around us
Like we said it never could
We saw it happen to all the others
But to us it never would
Well how could something so bad, darling
Come from something that was so good I don't know
It's like we held a noose
And baby without check
We pulled until it grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other
Darling to say when
Well baby you can meet me tonight on the loose end
