IS THERE SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND? / ARE YOU WASTING BOTH OUR TIMES?
COULD IT BE THAT I’VE BEEN BLIND - NOW I’M SEEING ALL THE SIGNS
THERE IS SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU’RE SO COLD / A FEELING THINGS ARE LEFT UNSAID
THERE’S A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU HOLD ME / THERE’S A BLIZZARD IN MY HEAD
I’VE BEEN TRYIN NOT TO SEE / WHAT I DIDN’T WANNA SEE
I WAS AFRAID THAT I MIGHT FIND / WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE / THAT I WASN’T A GOOD MAN
NOW I’M WONDERING IF THIS ALL / MIGHT BE PART OF SOME GRAND PLAN
DID YOU GET ALL THAT YOU WANT - ARE YOU TRYING TO WEAR ME DOWN?
NOW I’VE TAKEN ALL I CAN / I WILL SWIM BEFORE I DROWN
IS THERE SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND?...
THERE IS SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND…

DOIN THE RIGHT THING FEELS ALL WRONG SOMETIMES / THERE WAS TEMPTATION IN HER SMILE
SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND GOD KNOWS THAT I WAS / OUTSIDE THE WELL-KNOWN 50 MILES
AS WE WERE TALKIN, MAN, THE SPARKS WERE FLYIN / JUST ABOUT TO LOSE MY MIND
I HEARD A VOICE SAY “HONEY, THIS CAN NEVER BE” / TO MY SURPRISE THAT VOICE WAS MINE
SO HERE’S THIS BEAUTY RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME / AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TRY
OH – THAT’S WHY
.
DOING THE RIGHT THING SEEMS ALL WRONG SOMETIMES / I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN CRIME DOESN'T PAY
BUT DOING THE RIGHT THING FEELS ALL WRONG SOMETIMES / CAN I JUST LET HER WALK AWAY
DOIN THE RIGHT THING FEELS ALL WRONG SOMETIMES / WHEN NIGHTS ARE DAYS & DAYS ARE OH- SO- LONG
ROAD FOOD, NO SLEEP, NO LOVE, & TOO MUCH ALCHOHOL / CAN MUDDY UP YOUR RIGHT & WRONG
•
I’VE SEEN IT HAPPEN & IT NEVER TURNS OUT WELL / TO TRADE A LIFE FOR JUST ONE NIGHT
BUT OH MY, MY
DOING THE RIGHT THING SEEMS ALL WRONG SOMETIMES / AT LEAST I HAD MY SELF RESPECT
BUT DOING THE RIGHT THING FEELS ALL WRONG SOMETIMES / AND SHE LOOKED SO GOOD FROM THE BACK
WHY DOES THE WRONG THING SEEM SO EASY TO DO / WHEN THE OTHER THING'S SO HARD
NATURAL SELECTION, EVOLUTION, AND LUST / HAVE BROUGHT THE WORLD THIS FAR
DOIN THE WRONG THING SEEMS ALL RIGHT SOMETIMES / SO I CAUGHT HER AT THE DOOR
SELF RESPECT WAS JUST A DISTANT NAGGING VOICE / AND WHAT'S THE 50 MILE RULE FOR
SHE SAID: YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE - / NOW IT IS TOO LATE / BUT I WOULD HAVE ROCKED YOUR WORLD -SUCH A VERY, VERY, VERY PRETTY GIRL
DOING THE WRONG THING THING FEELS ALL RIGHT SOMETIMES / DOIN THE WRONG THING SEEMS OKAY
YEAH - DOING THE WRONG THING FEELS ALL RIGHT SOMETIMES / WILL I JUST LET HER WALK AWAY

I WAS ALREADY TREADING WATER / I WAS ALREADY / DRIFTING DOWN STREAM
WHEN THE DAM BROKE / I WAS FLOATING / THEN I WAS WASHED OUT
WASHED OUT TO SEA
NOW I AM SPINNING / IN A WHIRLPOOL / NOW I AM FROZEN / I HAVE GONE NUMB
WAITING TO BE / OR TO NOT BE / WAITING TO SEE / SEE WHAT MIGHT COME
SHOULD I TRY…SHOULD I TRY…TRY TO BREATH/
OH I’M TRYIN…OH I’M TRYIN…TRYIN TO BREATH
I NEVER WANTED TO BE FREE / THAT WAY
MY REASON BURIED IN THE SAND
I ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE’D BE MY ANCHOR
NOW I SEE / SHE IS THE ANCHOR DROWNING ME

COMES UP TOO LATE AND GOES DOWN TOO SOON
HOW I CRAVE THE 21RST OF JUNE
COMES UP TOO LATE GOES DOWN TOO SOON
JUST CAN’T SHAKE THIS JANUARY GLOOM
MY SHADOW’S LONG EVEN AT HIGH NOON
WANT TO HEAD OFF TO CANCUN
COMES UP TOO LATE GOES DOWN TOO SOON
I’M DREAMING OF A TROPICAL LAGOON
THIS FROZEN WORLD IT GETS INTO MY HEAD
AND EVERYTHING IS WILTED, LIMP, AND DEAD
EVEN IN THE WARMTH OF THE BEDROOM
COMES UP TOO LATE GOES DOWN TOO SOON
COMES UP TOO SLOW / GOES DOWN TOO FAST
WANNA LEAVE DON’T HAVE THE CASH
COMES UP TOO SLOW / GOES DOWN TOO FAST
JUST WALKING TO THE CAR I FREEZE MY ASS
I HELD ON BUT IT COULDN’T LAST
NOW EVERY DAY IS OVERCAST
THERE’S WORSE TO COME AND THE BEST HAS PASSED
CAME UP TOO SLOW / WENT DOWN TOO FAST
