All the trouble I make through the things I do They keep catching up with me They tend to leave us to I don't always know when I'm right But I sure know when I'm wrong I'm feeling self pity and yet Still writing sad stupid songs She says you Say what you want Do what you say These are critical times Love is fading away We can go through the tops And we can live through these games It never changes how it feels When your love is fading away You lose all track of yourself When you're feeling that way You could always hide yourself in corners Worrying about all the miserable things but Everyone seems to swim in it It makes the world go round I'm somewhere floundering Feeling like I've been drowned So I say what I want And I do what I say These are critical times Love is fading away I can go through the tops And I can live through these games It never changes how it feels When your love is fading I don't believe in much And I never gave it time To tell anybody how I'm willing to give to them All my life yeah I don't believe it She has a look there in her eyes She's trying to get through to me She's gonna stick this out one more time So you're cruisin' down the road of life Should be feeling strong You never had the feeling yet And it always leads you all wrong You're best when you grab hold of yourself Since you know you're gonna fall You can check out on me any time that you like Love is bittersweet, that's all So we say what we want And we do what we say These are critical times Love is fading away We can go through the tops And we can live through these games It never changes how it feels When your love is fading Oh no you say what you want (say what you want) And you do what you say (you do what you do by now that) These are critical times Love is fading away We can go through the tops (through the tops) And we can live through these games It never changes how we feel
