GoinŽ every night, to the place youŽd be
But you never did catch on.
IŽd always try to draw you near
Just by playinŽ one more song.
To wait for the right moment,
Was my first mistake.
If I knew then what I know now,
YouŽd be mine to take, IŽd take you away.
You talk of your tomorrows,
They sound like yesterdays IŽve told.
Are you too much like a little child,
Or is it that IŽm growing old?
The questions that youŽd ask me,
I didnŽt know what to say
And when I had the answers, girl,
You turned and walked away.
ThatŽs when I figured out that -
I was born too early, and you were born too late.
No way that youŽre gonna catch me.
No way that I can wait.
IŽd trade away tomorrow for an hour here today -
But I know you belong to another -
You belong to another man.
Well I know whatŽs said about what it costs.
When you play too close to home.
Keep away from trouble, boy
And leave that little girl alone.
ItŽs hot enough to feel the heat,
Too close and youŽll get burned.
Now IŽve no time to teach you girl,
And you donŽt want to learn
