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



[Chorus]
