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 * The lyrics in the CD liner notes differ from what is sung
