She'll take a chance on this boy   Missles launched and she's deployed her plan to understand him now   And she don't know where he's been   But she'll find a reason   To let a love pass her by again      And don't say it didn't mean a thing   After all those silly songs I'm singing   No, you've blown your thoughts to shore      It's the moment we live for   Don't let it slip out the back door   Don't let life pass you by   And your heart's saying "yeah, let's go"   But your mind's saying "oh no"   Don't let love die tonight   Cause she's not alright      She's like a wine that's fine with age   But she can't find it in her heart to change the way she feels about me now   And like a star that's far away   I took the fall and she's to blame   My heart is tangled in her now      And don't say it didn't mean a thing   After all those silly songs I'm singing   No, you've blown your thoughts to shore      It's the moment we live for   Don't let it slip out the back door   Don't let life pass you by   And your heart's saying "yeah, let's go"   But your mind's saying "oh no"   Don't let love die tonight   Cause she's not alright      It's the moment we live for   Don't let it slip out the back door   Don't let life pass you by   And your heart's saying "yeah, let's go"   But your mind's saying "oh no"   Don't let love die tonight   Cause she's not alright
