Everybody needs to be with somebody
Even after all the cold hard facts are known
Like your heart will probably break
What with all that give and take
Still you just can't seem to leave the thing alone

So you hold your breath and you count to ten
And you're scared to death but you close your eyes
And fall in love again
'Cause in the middle of the night
He'll hold you tight
And then everything that's wrong will be alright

Now you swear you'll keep romance in perspective
But, with love, it's always famine or it's feast
And a hungry heart forgets
Tends to minimize regrets
So as sure as there's a sunrise in the east

There's a silver moon that your heart can't waste
And then pretty soon, there's a stranger's kiss
That you can't wait to taste
'Cause when the apple is in sight
You take a bite
Hopin' everything that's wrong will be alright

Maybe this time jealousy
And fear will get the best of you
Maybe this time you will give a little more
Maybe this time you will look and find somebody who
Isn't quite as crazy as those times before

So you try again 'til you get it right
And you never know when to let it go
Or when to hold on tight

But when there's nothin' else that works
Well, love just might
So when romance comes along
We all struggle to belong
So that everything that's wrong will be alright
