Lyrics: Jack Murphy



Everybody needs to be with somebody

Even after all the cold hard facts are known

Like your heart will probably break

What with all that give and take

Still you just can't seem

To leave the thing alone



So you hold your breath

And you count to ten

And you're scared to death

But you close your eyes

And fall in love again

'Cause in the middle of the night

He'll hold you tight

And then everything that's wrong

Will be alright



Now you swear you'll keep romance

In perspective

But, with love,

It's always famine or it's feast

And a hungry heart forgets

Tends to minimize regrets

So as sure as there's

A sunrise in the east

There's a silver moon

That your heart can't waste

And then pretty soon,

There's a stranger's kiss

That you can't wait to taste

'Cause when the apple is in sight

You take a bite

Hopin' everything that's wrong

Will be alright

Maybe this time jealousy and fear

Will get the best of you

Maybe this time you will give a little more

Maybe this time you will look

And find somebody who

Isn't quite as crazy as those times before



So you try again

'Till you get it right

And you never know when to let it go

Or when to hold on tight

But when there's nothin' else that works

Well, love just might

So when romance comes along

We all struggle to belong

So that everything that's wrong

Will be alright
