The Ledge Lyrics
Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' thru your fingers
Watchin' how it grows
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
Do you ever wonder
Do you ever hate
Six feet under
Someone who can wait
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta,
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
You're never gonna make it baby
Ooh You're just gonna make it crazy
Ooh You never gonna make it baby
Make it baby
Make it baby
Countin' on my fingers
Countin' on my toes
Slippin' through your fingers
Watchin' how it grows
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you what it's really all about
Buy another fixture
Tell another lie
Paint another picture
See who's surprised
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's reallly all about
You're never gonna make it baby
Oohh You're only gonna make it crazy
Oohh You're never gonna Make it baby
Make it baby
Make it baby
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta someone oughta
Someone oughta someone oughta
Someone oughta someone oughta
Someone oughta someone oughta
You can love me baby but you can't walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what it's really all about
I also love the sound of this song. It's an amazing song.
I think the song is about not wanting to admit that you're in love with a person. He think that someone should tell her that she clearly is in love with him. And he's waiting till she admits it.
Sorry for my bad English xD Greetings from Holland. X
Yet another song directed at his former partner, Stevie Nicks, except on this album without the chocolate coating that made the vitriol on Rumours palatable to yuppies. He just lets fly here and it's invigorating. The more I listen to this album the better it gets. Buckingham allows his recriminatory feelings to be expressed in domineering belittlement of her weakness, that she can't walk out and is too weak to ever make it without him.
The sound of this song is amazing and it always sucks me in; but I really don't get the 'you can love me baby but you can't walk out' line. confused
I think it may be about someone who is in denial that the relationship is over. It's either you're on the bus or you're off the bus, and in this case you're on the bus and there is no getting off of it. But I also agree with the two comments prior to this comment as well. Great song, nonetheless, the way it is slammed into your face.
