  • Staring at each other with accusing eyes keep our voices low
    Don't act surprised
    If the word gets out, yeah, that's alright

    I know you're just looking for some sympathy
    but listen you don't know how it gets back to me
    You're getting reckless girl, but that's alright

    Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
    and then we'll have nowhere to go

    Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
    we'll be all alone in a different light
    I don't care what the world can't see
    It's just between you and me

    I see telltale signs of a love in decline
    There should be something to say
    but we don't take the time
    and I don't understand, but that's alright

    Now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart
    Don't make an open book out of my private heart
    You should know better now, but that's alright

    Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
    and then we'll have nowhere to go

    Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
    we'll be all alone in a different light
    I don't care what the world can't see
    It's just between you and me

    If we don't work this out we won't recover
    We'll loose this soulfful love for one another
    But with all I've heard and all I've seen
    I'm still lost in your mystery

    Staring at each other with accusing eyes keep our voices low
    Don't act surprised if the word gets out
    Yeah that's alright

    Don't you know that one cold word is going to lead to another
