Ah,ha,ah
Gonna let you go my angel
Though i could make you stay
I could use my blind self-pity
Throw it in your way
But the times have turned between us
And you know i don`t believe
That it makes one bit of difference
If you stay or if you leave
Why can`t i be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
Pushing down a mountain
On it`s way to meet the sea
Why can`t i need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up,baby?
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me,yeah
Gonna make it short now,angel
Though i could make it long
I could take through all the changes
And show you where you`re wrong
But our dreams don`t flow together
And you`ll never,never see the light
So it really,really doesn`t matter
Who is wrong or who is right?
Oh,why can`t i be lonely
Like that lonely rushing river?
It`s pushing down the mountain
On its way to meet the sea
Oh,why can`t i need somebody
Like that river needs that ocean?
Why did you have to get so mixed up,baby?
With a mixed up girl
With a mixed up girl like me,mmm,ooh,mmm, <-9>ooh
