Have you ever been hurt Disappointed, stood up? Expected the best But encountered the worst?
Do you ever feel good about someone who’s not And found out that that feeling means more than the facts?
How far can one go Before feeling is gone? How far can one push Before push comes to shove?
Have you loved at first sight Felt an animal draw Felt alive at the might Of the pull of one night?
Well I hope you have, girl For a life without downs Is a life without ups Is not really a life.
