Up Against It

There must be a new ending, to disable this timetable.
I know nobody wants to love someone who too badly wants love.

O, just for ONCE to feel the hands
Of somebody that UNDERSTANDS,
Not to hear "Sorry, I've other plans."
And boy you're up against it now.

She is tired of listening.
Strangers saying what's best for her.
"I've been banging my head against this wall
"For so long that it almost makes sense."

O, just for ONCE to feel the hands
Of somebody that UNDERSTANDS,
Not to hear "Sorry, I've other plans."
And girl you're up against it now.

What was promised, now denied,
Is again promised, again denied.
When you've raised your hopes so many times
You question if you're meant to BE.

She sighs, "There's no life in his eyes."
He sighs, "There's no love in her eyes."

These bruises will never heal
Because you're up against it now.
You're up against it now.
You're up against it.
