Weve known her ever since she was a kid She was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes Her parents never minded what she did She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face But past a certain point she stayed behind The two of us could never read her mind The million ways she had of killing time So we just gave up Yeah we just gave up cause sometimes, you know Theres limits to love We'd get impatient with her now and then Oh, shed smile and say, `now you're not being nice. I guess her definition of a friend Was someone long on love, and short on advice We gave her money but the moneys bad She took the dollars and just tore them in half We got so angry, we just had to laugh But we still gave up Yeah we still gave up cause sometimes, you know Theres limits to love Shell get in trouble but she will scrape through Oh, shes the kind of girl who can always find help I'd say shes stupid, but it'd be untrue Oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself We tried to love her, but our love unwound (so our love was weak) We talked about her when she wasn't around (so our talk was cheap) And still we felt that we were letting her down cause we just gave up Yeah we just gave up cause sometimes, you know Theres limits to love Sometimes you know Theres limits to love
