Sometimes I wonder where it is loves goes I don't know if even Heaven knows But I know we had dreams That didn't quite come true And now I'm not the one, Little boy, who's keeping you
CHORUS: I was either standing in your shadow Or blocking your light Though I kept on trying I could not make it right For this girl There's not enough love in the world
I know people hurt you so bad They don't know the damage They can do, and it makes me so sad How we knock each other down Just like children on a playground Even after that o' sun went down
CHORUS
Oh darling this is still a shady little town And sometimes it's so hard to smile For the world, for the camera And still you have something left You don't have to prove nothing to nobody Just take good care of yourself
I'm not easy to live with I know that it's true You're no picnic either, baby And that's one of the things I loved about you But a time will come around When we need to settle down Got to get off this merry-go-round
