(Frank Musker, Dominic King)
'I'm in love with him? she said
With all the innocence of tender years
But somewhere down the road ahead
I could see the same eyes
Filled with bitter tears
I had the inclination
To tell her not to drop her guard
To tell her that life can be hard
But I didn't have the heart
(Chorus)
You have to hurt - to understand
You have to get by the best you can
Until you hurt - until you cry
You won't know about love
And the reason you're alive
You have to hurt
She said, 'I know he'll never leave me
I never felt it deep inside like this before?
It was good to see her, believe me
But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore
All that expectation
Too naive to really see
Maybe she knew better than me
It was better just to let her be
(Chorus)
Little sister, you're so sweet
Thinking love runs smooth
You don't know the half of it
We laugh until we lose
There's no way around it
(Chorus)When it comes the time that you have recognized your line
and you realize the path that you will travel through your life,
be sure that what you want is exactly what you're trying to get,
or you'll be speeding toward a cliff without realizing that...
Before you know, the haze makes you slow ignore your future,
forget your past - before you know, cars start to crash.
There are so many choices, the opportunities abound.
Just to be sure to keep things straight and be sure to stand your ground.
Let nothing shade your vision, even fight to keep it clear.
Let no one change what's right for you, for when you start to veer cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow ignore your future,
forget your past - before you know, cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow ignore your future,
forget your past - before you know, cars start to crash.
Before you know, the haze makes you slow ignore your future,
forget your past - before you know, cars start to crash.
