1000 Years
Status Quo · Perfect Remedy [1989]
You don't help at all, thinking I am just a fool
But one has changed and one remains, going on
Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more
Just the other day taking love you won't repay
Where's the give and take? Tell me why the sudden heartache?
The emptiness and loneliness say it all
Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more
Walked all over me, played around with my heart
Who knows where or when from the middle through until the end?
An easy touch, you knew as much all along
Even if it takes a thousand years or more
Even if we cried a thousand tears, I'm sure
We'd still want more and more
