Baby baby, I'm playing it cool like a lovestruck girl from my old high school You taste so sweet I'm trying hard to follow my rules Cause I don't want to be one of those forlorn fools out on the street Although I could fall I know you could too Right over the line you could be mine But we're doing the dance that two lovers do when they're out of time On the borderline Babe I don't want you to see me this way So vulnerable I give my heart away and it makes me weak
Used to be I was a Rock of Gibraltar now I stumble all over my feet and I falter when I try to speak Out on the edge of the great divide the unspeakable chasm is between us And the places we run to though we cannot hide from the neon sign On the borderline I don't want to waste anymore time around here if no one's going to throw me a heart line Oh it might be the right thing to just disappear by the morning time On the borderline From the borderline
