And my heart is breaking, breaking, breaking On the shores of your eyes And though I see the safe harbor it's out of reach, out of reach, out of reach I'm out there stranded in an old rocking boat With sails ripped and oars all broke I can't send a signal, can't send a signal, can't send a signal to you And my heart is breaking, breaking, breaking On the shores of your eyes And though I see the safe harbor it's out of reach, out of reach, out of reach Laughing birds fly overhead, waves send sighs of sympathy yet they hold me here so far away, hold me here so far away, hold me here so far from you I got a bottle but no paper or pen, my voice held captive by the wind If you'd look up you'd see nothing but the sky f you'd look up you'd see nothing but the sky f you'd look up you'd see nothing And my heart is breaking, breaking, breaking On the shores of your eyes And though I see the safe harbor it's out of reach, out of reach, out of reach.....out of reach

I'm sorry my dear for going wrong with our love I apologize honey there's so much that I'm guilty of But things can't go right all the time And yet they seem to go wrong all the time Well I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry Is that what you want me to say Forgive me or is that asking too much Forgive me and bring back your sweet touch Well I'm hoping that you'll understand I wasn't doing the best that I can Yeah I want you I want you I want you And it's making me mad I'm not changing fast enough for you Baby doll you're the same as when you met me too ooh oh You're the best love honey The best that I ever had Gonna to share it with my mama Gonna prove it to my dad But I'm not telling them nothing Until I know for sure you got something Yeah and I love you I love you what else can I say I'm not changing fast enough for you Well baby you're the same as when I met you too ooh oh I don't know if it's wrong or right I only know I want to hold you tight So come on little darling let's go You know I need you tonight You know I need you tonight It's gonna be all right

Some of my friends tell me I'm good looking and I feel your big old green eyes cooking Burning a couple of holes In the side of my big fat head You're like a scared bunny standing and staring Full of self doubt and without any daring Maybe you should go on home and go back to bed Well you're actually kind of cute right there With your eyeballs poppin and your jaw bone dropping I'm watching you watching me in the reflection in the glass I don't know what's stopping you from hopping on over Have you never seen a four leaf clover Red rover red rover come on move your ass I'm ready What's up doc you're starting yo bug me I got no carrots but I'll let you hug me Tell that doe in the hole goodbye You're gonna leave her for beaver tonight Cause this wide receiver's gonna give you a buck fever But you're gonna have to see her if you wanna believe her So hippity hop jack rabbit do it right Well you're actually kind of cute right there With your eyeballs popping and your job and dropping I'm watching you watching me in the reflection in the glass I don't know what's stopping you from hopping on over Have you never seen a four leaf clover Red rover red rover come on move your ass I'm ready You just keep gawking you should've been walking And talking and asking my name I guess you need nudging and I'm not big on judging But at least one of us has game What you gonna do when I come up to you with my 24 karat smile Are you gonna look away when I give you my number Or just keep staring a while Well you're actually kind of cute right there With your eyeballs popping and your job and dropping Watching me watching you in the reflection in the glass I don't know what's stopping you from hopping on over Have you never seen a four leaf clover Red rover red rover come on move your ass Move that ass
