(t. b. schmit) I spend all my time searching up and down Looking for some other way Every now and then I will turn around Just to find that it's a new day Why am I afraid to be standing here Turning my face to the wall How can I believe that you're really there When I don't even know you at all I'll keep trying to make it through No matter what you say I'm a fool who still loves you Bring me a brighter day Oh there's something sad about it baby I take it slow But then everyday I get in my own way That's how it goes My heart wants to follow you everywhere But I try to draw the line I'm standing in the shade of a blue affair Hoping it will work out in time Baby all I want from you is a simple chance Just enough time to explore We could put an end to this song and dance It doesn't have to be such a chore In this world full of danger All we can do is try Maybe we won't be strangers Keep my love alive Oh there's something sad about it baby I take it slow But then everyday I get in my own way That's how it goes Deep in the night I dream we're together Nothing can do me wrong But then I wake up and find you're really no there Like a singer without a song Oh there's something sad about it baby I take it slow But then everyday I get in my own way That's how it goes Oh there's something sad about it baby...
