On The Fence Lyrics - What Kind Of World - Brendan Benson

Well, I'm afraid that it's true 

I'm leaving you. 

But rest assured 

tomorrow I'll be home. 

Cuz you know I never could, 

I never was no good, 

Lord knows, at being on my own. 

Never been the type 

to wanna settle down, 

or never had the nerve to ramble on. 

So I'm leaving here tonight 

but I'll be back before dawn, 

so leave the light on 

and keep my supper warm. 

Never been a fighter or a lover. 

Never thought that either made much sense. 

And I can't decide on this way or the other 

so I live my life just sitting on this fence. 

And today I feel restless 

but tomorrow I won't fret this. 

And there's no telling 

what this boy might do. 

But baby, guarantee 

"the moment that I'm free 

that that's when I'll come crawlin' back to you." 

Never been a fighter or a lover. 

Never thought that either made much sense. 

And I can't decide on this way or the other 

so I live my life just sitting on this fence. 

And I don't know how you stand it. 

Don't know why you stay. 

But I know you never planned it 

to turn out this way. 

And I would understand it 

if you couldn't take anymore 

of me always keeping one foot out the door. 

And I want to get married. 

I want to raise a family. 

Do the things that normal people do. 

But what self-respecting woman 

would ever have me and not stab me 

when I wanna have my cake and eat it, too? 

Never been a fighter or a lover. 

Never thought that either made much sense. 

And I can't decide on this way or the other 

so I live my life just sitting on this fence. 

Yeah, I live my life just sitting on this fence. 

And I'll probably die just sitting on this fence.
