She's in the rowboat
Tears of laughter flooding her face
She's bailing out her sinking ship
He's on the shore
He's knee deep in the water
Clutching his life preserver
For dear life
She falls in love like
She's going to the market
Embracing each lover
With ready arms
He sleeps alone holding out for princess charming
Stuffing his hands in the pockets
Of those old jeans
She thinks that she's
Really living life
And he thinks that
She's reckless and careless
But they've got the same blood
But different ways
Just let it be that way
Just let it be that way
She lays it all out
Right on the table
She ain't got no secrets
He doesn't speak
Unless he's spoken to
And he keeps it all
Close to the vest
She says 'I love you' like it's
'pa** the salt dear'
She makes it known
Before they slip away
He whispers 'I love you'
Like it's a four letter word
It's his gift to only one woman
She thinks that she's
Really living life
And he thinks
That she's reckless and careless
They've got the same blood
But different ways
Just let it be that way
Just let it be that way
I know you've walked
Through more life than I
But I've seen some things
In these 20 years
And you can draw me
All the maps of the falling places
But the only way I'll find them
Is if I go there myself
I'll do it myself
Because I know
That I'm really living life
And I know you think that I'm reckless and careless
But we've got the same blood but different ways
Just let it be that way
Just let it be that way
