I've always felt so scared of all this needing Everyone that I've met has been somewhat mistreated That's how it feels when you know that something's wrong Then you came along like a swan over the lake And flew across my eyes and out into space And I ran and I crawled and I chased to get a taste That's what I did--OH If there's just one thing you've got to remember It's to write down your name and your phone number That way you'll have it and we'll make something out of this mess And if all else fails and the ship won't set sail God forbid, but I guess the both of us will bail But as far as I can tell, I think things will be swell Have you seen me cry Tears like diamonds? Down and down they fly Faster and faster Like the speed of love Batting a thousand But a homerun crack at love This is where I tell you that I know love's what I need to work at So now the two of us, we lie on each other With our premonitions out in the gutter Who would have thought that I'd make it this far? I make it seem like I'm stronger but I'm quite the ante And now I'm so caught up I can't escape this pattern But when I started losing hope, there you were, there you bloomed Have you seen me cry Tears like diamonds? Down and down they fly Faster and faster Like the speed of love Batting a thousand But a homerun crack at love This is where I tell you that I know love's what I need to work at
