(words by daryl hall & john oates Music by daryl hall) You and i have separate lives girl You and i go different ways on roads that cross When love and loss is ruled by fate People have a tragic habit Of letting love get in the way They tend to lose their overviews and overplay Something i wanna say Something i've got to do Feels like you're drifting away And i don't wanna lose you I'll try to find a way to encourage you It's easy to convince myself Cause i can't believe you'd wanna be with somebody else People have a tragic habit Of letting love get in the way They tend to lose their overviews and overplay Something i wanna say Something i've got to do Feels like you're drifting away And i don't wanna lose you
