Why do people have to say goodbye
Why do lovers have to part
Why does the sun come up in the sky every mornin’
Before the night turns everything dark
Oh, ‘n why can’t you love me anymore
The way you used to do
Why can’t you love me the way I love you
Darlin’, don’t say that we are thru’
She‘s nineteen
She‘s pretty
She‘s in L. A. now
But not in the city
‘N yeah, she was always gettin‘ into trouble
What was it she glorified?
She tried to fix everything all by herself
But nothin‘ seemed to work as hard as she tried, oh
So, you think you’re in love with someone new
Well, baby, I don’t think so
Oh, why don’t you come to your senses, baby
‘Cos this is one thing I know
Nobody can love you more than I do
Nobody would even try
‘N if someone asks me why I do
This would be my reply
All my friends say I’m crazy
All my friends say I’m nuts
But hey, I’m not lookin’ for my Mr. Right
No ifs, no ands, no maybes, no buts
They all think that I’m lyin’
They all think that I’m just kiddin’ myself
But, hey, I’m not lookin’ for someone tall, dark, handsome ‘n strong
I say “I’m not lookin’ for my Mr. Right” – Wrong!
I can see the light ahead
I can see the darkness behind
I’m ridin’ fast into that place of grace
Oh, I can see all the signs
They don’t have to be written on any wall
For me to finally see
That one day I will belong to the wind
‘N I’ll cruise along on it’s breeze
Well, I’ve lost my equilibrium, baby
Now that I took the wrong road
‘N I don’t know how I’ll ever get back
Oh, can’t someone show me which way to go
See, I’ve been out too long in the darkness
‘N someone stole my light like a thief
But I know I’ll find my way back somehow
‘Cos I lost my religion – but I found belief
Heaven can be so hot
‘N hell can be so cold
That’s how my life seems to me these days
Unrest has been tuggin’ at my soul
The phone doesn’t ring
The birds don’t sing
Nothin’ means anything to me at all
‘Cos the river we were sailin’ on has run dry now
‘N our love has hit the wall
