It seems I misjudged, I misjudged you today,
Sorry, I'd been drinking, I got carried away.
I got home and nothing was the same,
I got home just to play your new game.
I thought you'd been hurtful and cruel,
I'm sorry I was such a fool.
Tear it down, Tear it down,
(Tear it down),
Tear it down.
(Tear it down, Tear it down).
If I hadn't hurt you, someone else would,
But to throw it away for a stab at Hollywood,
I questioned myself so much,
I longed and I longed and I longed for your touch.
I thought that this time you would see,
That you don't have nothing on me.
Tear it down, Tear it down,
(Tear it down),
Tear it down.
(Tear it down, Tear it down).
I broke a promise, I turned you away,
Those hopes and those dreams have all gone astray,
A phoney, a fraud, artificial and fake,
You came back to take all you could take.
I hurt and I cried and I bled,
They worked, those things that you said.
Tear it down, Tear it down,
(Tear it down),
Tear it down.
(Tear it down, Tear it down).
Tear it down, Tear it down,
(Tear it down),
Tear it down.
(Tear it down, Tear it down).
