(Words by Daryl Hall & John Oates; Music by Daryl Hall) You and I have separate lives girl You and I go different ways on roads that cross When love and loss is ruled by fate People have a tragic habit Of letting love get in the way They tend to lose their overviews and overplay Something I wanna say Something I've got to do Feels like you're drifting away And I don't wanna lose you I'll try to find a way to encourage you It's easy to convince myself Cause I can't believe you'd wanna be with somebody else People have a tragic habit Of letting love get in the way They tend to lose their overviews and overplay Something I wanna say Something I've got to do Feels like you're drifting away And I don't wanna lose you
