Gray Beard Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Baby, baby I'm aware of where you go Each time you leave my door I watch you walk down the street Knowing your other love you'll meet But this time before you run to her Leaving me alone and hurt (Think it over) After I've been good to you ? (Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's cloud's illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and ferries wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud, To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends they're acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day. I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all I've looked at life from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay back, it's all been done before And if, you could only let it be, you will see I like, you the way you are When we're, driving in your car And you're, talking to me one on one but you become Somebody else 'Round everyone else You're watching your back Like you can't relax You're trying to be cool You look like a fool to me Tell me Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated Life's like this you And you fall, and you crawl, and you break And you take, what you get, and you turn it into Honesty and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it No, no, no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
