Sometimes I wonder where it is loves goes   I don't know if even Heaven knows   But I know we had dreams   That didn't quite come true   And now I'm not the one,   Little boy, who's keeping you      [Chorus:]   I was either standing in your shadow   Or blocking your light   Though I kept on trying   I could not make it right   For this girl   There's not enough love in the world      I know people hurt you so bad   They don't know the damage   They can do, and it makes me so sad   How we knock each other down   Just like children on a playground   Even after that o' sun went down      [Chorus]      Oh darling this is still a shady little town   And sometimes it's so hard to smile   For the world, for the camera   And still you have something left   You don't have to prove nothing to nobody   Just take good care of yourself      I'm not easy to live with   I know that it's true   You're no picnic either, baby   And that's one of the things   I loved about you   But a time will come around   When we need to settle down   Got to get off this merry-go-round      [Chorus]
