lyrics

found you in an alleyway, almost dead
somebody had filled your heart full of lead
I put you under my wing, healed you up
let you drink from my loving cup
well now I know we never really had a great start
and you never meant to let the poison out of your heart

you wanna hold on
to what you think I feel
you think you'll be the only one to turn my wheels
you say that you love me
you say that you're for real
but babe your love is just another handshake deal

I gave you all my money babe I could spend
slipped my back far as it'll bend
tried to figure out why our times were rough
then I saw into your soul and I... had enough
now I know that you didn't mean to string me along
but I'll never double down on a love that's wrong

you wanna hold on
to what you think I feel
you think you'll be the only one to turn my wheels
you say that you love me
you say that you're for real
but babe your love is just another handshake deal

and the lies weren't worth the paper printed on
the list of our favorite old love songs
I've been trying so hard to keep the tears at bay,
to say I'll love you tomorrow... please fade away

you wanna hold on
to what you think I feel
you think you'll be the only one to turn my wheels
you say that you love me
you say that you're for real
but babe your love is just another handshake deal
babe your love is just another handshake deal
babe your love is just another handshake deal
babe your love is just another handshake deal
