On the third floor of the hotel There's a pregnant Flamenco dancer In the bathtub with a razor And she's planning a great escape But in a way she's giving up on herself But either way she's giving up some of herself But in the backyard there's a small boy Playing soldiers with an army ranger In the front room there's a mother And to the small boy she's other stranger But in a way she's giving up on herself But either way she's giving up some of herself Love is only what you give up Life isn't what you get Love won't always hear you come Life's when you start to live Life's when you learn to live When I leave here I'm gonna go home The small boy and the flamenco dancer When a guitar in a spotlight I'm gonna go home to my biggest fans But in a way I'm giving up some of myself But in a way isn't that what it's about But in a way I'm giving up some of myself But either way isn't that what it's about Love is only what you give up Life isn't what you get Love won't always fill your cup Life's when you start to live Life's when you learn to live
