i’m riding in the middle – halfway into you
and halfway into something else
i don’t know what to do
you’re not decided you’re only hidin’ from love
you can’t deny it – you’re only hidin from love
well i’ve been makin’ changes – but you’ve been changin’ too
you were hopin’ love was somethin’ else
i was hopin’ it was you
you said you make it easy babe- you said you’d take the time
but you called it off before i changed my mind
you’re not decided you’re only hidin’ from love
you can’t deny it – you’re only hidin from love
i know you tried but you’re only hidin from love
you say you’re shy but you’re only hidin from love
now you know
that i stood outside your window just a little too long
whatcha gonna do
when the hours pass away and you know that i’m gone
jokin’ bout your mother went a little to far
but you caught me – out with the others til the early dawn
there may be a time – if we played it right
i’m six blocks over and you wouldn’t spend the night with me
now and the hours and the minutes just fly away
you win some and you lose some
you gotta get right
or i’ll be saying bye bye bye bye
thinkin bout you
the way you’re holdin’ me down i’d be better off dead
now you know
that the time is runnin’ out on the things we said
well it may be a week – it may be a day
i’m six blocks over and i don’t know what to say to you
now and the hours and the minutes just fly away
there you go with your cool writing rules
for your theories on romance
i know that you doubt me but without me
you’d be tearin’ up your one chance
wait and see – this could be the last time for me
baby just wait and see
all the times i came runnin’ back
down the path of least resistance
i thought my body was just a hobby
for your heart’s indifference
wait and see – this could be the last time for me
baby – can’t ya wait and see
i’ve been trapped by your innocence
haven’t seen ya since you caught me baby
shut down by the one i love now i’m takin’ off
with the things you taught me
i could fool myself for a night
goin on like i don’t need you anymore
but that’s like walkin’ in the dark
tell me now that you’ll give me all your love
give me your love
or nothin’ at all
i’ve bin everywhere and here i go again
lookin’ out for me and leavin you behind
but let me hold you just one time
so when you give your love i’ll know that you’ll be mine
give me your love
or nothin’ at all
i could have bin a winner
you should of taken me
it was so damn cold i shoulda held ya
cuz you were shakin’ me
well i almost had the question
when she took me home
i spent too much time for one night
bein’ all alone, she said…
you’re wastin’ time
you’re takin’ a chance on me
you’re wastin’ time
you’re takin’ a chance on me
i shoulda got the Rambler
a backseat movie for two
i spent too much time for one night
bein alone with you
you should of seen her daddy
cuz he said she had to go
i spent too much time for one night
bein all alone
things you said to me sentimentally
are always on my mind
seems you harboured me but you set me free
long before you gave me time to escape
the next time i’ll be on my way
cuz this time it’s true
i’m turning my back on you
don’t ya say it – don’t say you need me
if you don’t mean it – don’t even try
don’t ya say it – don’t say you want me
if you don’t mean it – don’t say goodbye
you threw love at me indispensably
but you never could give it away
and it seems to me that should never be
that’s why i’ll never stay with you
you can’t hold me down cuz it’s my life too
so this time it’s true
i’m turning my back on you
pardon me have you got the time to let me say hello?
i couldn’t help but see
you look like a lady i used to know a long time ago
remember the time we spent together
remember the days that went forever
remember the nights we stayed together
whatever i do i’ll still remember
it’s hard to believe
that i held her up and then she let me down
it’s all the same to me
but she broke my heart and left me spinnin’ round and round and round
i know that you’re curious so don’t be so serious
you know there’s no cause for alarm
when you’re down out left here in doubt
all the things that are right all go wrong
love is a state of mind
it’s keepin’ us both alive
sometime it’s hard to find
when love’s in this state of mind
now wait just a minute you know i ain’t finished
so don’t cha go carrying on
cuz i’m down out left here in doubt
well we tried but we can’t get along
love is a state of mind
it’s keepin’ us both alive
sometime it’s hard to find
when love’s in this state of mind
ooo try to see it my way
ooo try to see it my way
well i know you’ll cover up all the things you did that tied you up – just wanna let ya know
that i wanna keep ya warm
til the sun warms up the dawn
so baby move in a little closer
then you can think it over
just try to see it my way
think it over just try to see it my way
well you said you needed time from all the things that run around your mind how can let cha know
that i wanna keep ya warm
til the sun warms up the dawn
and baby move in a little closer
then you can think it over
try to see it my way – if ya can…
