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   'Till 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      * The lyrics in the CD liner notes differ from what is sung
