I should know better than to mess with you
When I know only that the best will do
And then you whisper to me softly
Gently and sweetly, nothing more than you can do

I think a lot about the people that we used to be
Young, dumb, and pretty
Sinners in the city, ain't a kiss to pity
You could pull me out to drive (ooh)

You left me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
When you're standing on a landmine
Don't wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on, I'm just a whip in the wind
Healing in the sunshine
Until we're close again

I'm running while you're standing in the place
I know that you're worth more than the chase
You slappin' the smile off my face
I guess I like wasting time

And the change up with the weather
Whenever we're together, I still like dancing in the rain
And then the winds change
Know we'll never be the same (ooh)

You left me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
When you're standing on a landmine
Don't wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on, I'm just a whip in the wind
Healing in the sunshine
Until we're close again

Love me or hate me, just say that you'll leave me
Or don't, and I'll just be waiting
Lost in your breathing 'cause I know that I need it
Just stay again

Don't leave me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
When you're standing on a landmine
Don't wait for the explosion (you left me hanging, you left me hanging)
You left me hanging on a clothesline (clothesline)
Come on, I'm just a whip in the wind (I'm just waiting, I'm just waiting)
Healing in the sunshine (sunshine)
Until we're close again (you left me hanging, you left me hanging)
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Ooh, and I'm just whipping the wind
When you're standing on a landmine
Don't wait for the explosion
You left me hanging on a clothesline
Come on, I'm just a whip in the wind
And I've been healing in the sunshine
Until we're close–
