Goinґ every night, to the place youґd be
But you never did catch on.
Iґd always try to draw you near
Just by playinґ one more song.
To wait for the right moment,
Was my first mistake.
If I knew then what I know now,
Youґd be mine to take, Iґd take you away.

You talk of your tomorrows,
They sound like yesterdays Iґve told.
Are you too much like a little child,
Or is it that Iґm growing old?
The questions that youґd ask me,
I didnґt know what to say
And when I had the answers, girl,
You turned and walked away.

Thatґs when I figured out that -

I was born too early, and you were born too late.
No way that youґre gonna catch me.
No way that I can wait.
Iґd trade away tomorrow for an hour here today -
But I know you belong to another -
You belong to another man.

Well I know whatґs said about what it costs.
When you play too close to home.
Keep away from trouble, boy
And leave that little girl alone.

Itґs hot enough to feel the heat,
Too close and youґll get burned.
Now Iґve no time to teach you girl,
And you donґt want to learn.
