"It's A Sad, Sad Affair" lyrics

How come
The look in your eyes
Nobody could be more surprised
As it turned out
Things could only get better
You say
You never had time
Too busy looking after mine
Well, it's no good
If you're always sticking to the letter

If it moves too fast
You'd better slow to make it all last
Life goes on
Whether we are right or we're wrong
So you gotta decide
When to break out
Or to stay inside
Cause you can't just
Hold on to it forever

Too bad
You could never choose
To put the fire out
Or to light that fuse
'Cause of one thing
One thing or another

You say
You'll never be sure
You got the symptoms
But you lost the cure
And you're searching
Cause you know there isn't any other way

If it moves etc

Oh, it's a sad, sad, affair
How to decide when or where
How can you ever be sure
How can you ever endure
Oh, it's a sad, sad, affair

You know you've gotta give in
This fight that you never can win
'Cause it's too hard
And you know you haven't got the money
Somewhere
I know that you'll find
Somewhere
A little piece of mind
Somewhere where they won't think that you are funny

If it moves too fast...
Oh, it's a sad sad affair...
