Spice of Life

What a shame she had to go
Now the fire’s just an ember
And the sweet love we’ve known
Is just a time to remember
Too much, too fast
Should’a known we’d crash
Now I’m goin' through the motions
But I can’t stop my devotion
I’m running short on the spice of life these days
Whatever it takes is getting farther away
I let down my guard, I fell and I fell hard
In a flash of pain
Now I’m running short on the spice of life these days
Didn’t win, place or show
But I sure learned a lesson
'Bout how much I could lose
Even with the best intentions
Now love makes the rules
And I know love can be cruel
But I’d sure like to trade
Some new for some old days
I did my stuff, kept hangin' tough
But I just don’t hit the mow
And the way to your heart nearly tore me apart
And it’s got me down so low
I’m running short on the spice of life these days
My pure love, was purely by mistake
I let down my guard, I fell and I fell hard
In a flash of pain
Now I’m running short on the spice of life these days
Yeah, I’m running short on the spice of life these days
