| When I first laid eyes on you
|
| Well, the night just felt so odd
|
| You looked at me and the stars lined up
|
| So I thought I’d heard from God
|
| And I gave him my best shot
|
| Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado
|
| I tried to hold on to you
|
| Took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl that sits on top of the world
|
| Man, I thought I could show you
|
| I’ve always been afraid of flying
|
| But you can’t blame a girl for trying
|
| Felt like a pearl when I was holding your hand
|
| So precious I forgot
|
| You could have any girl but I only wanted one man
|
| And you were everything I’m not
|
| Still I gave it my best shot
|
| Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado
|
| I tried to hold on to you
|
| Took a turn on a high trapeze swinging over the deep
|
| I thought I could show you
|
| I’ve always been afraid of flying
|
| But you can’t blame a girl for trying
|
| Like a vine bends a tree to the ground
|
| I won’t hold you down
|
| I tried to climb just as high
|
| But I found all the clouds touch the ground
|
| In this small town
|
| Took a ride on a high trapeze swinging over the deep
|
| I thought I could show you
|
| That I’ve always been afraid of flying
|
| But you can’t blame a girl for trying
|
| No, you can’t blame a girl
|
| Hey, hey |
