Lyrics
Looking at history since wars began
One lesson we all have learned
Countries fail everywhere
When they neglected to prepare
What's true of countries is true of a man
Wherever his heart's concerned
I've been warned, I could see
I've been stubborn as I could be
That's how love invaded me
You took me by surprise
I was confident, I was wise
But now I find I'm out on a limb
You caught me unprepared
I was nappin' and am I scared?
With you around, my chances are slim
Once I trusted in my common sense
Then you busted in on my defense
Was I dense?
I'm seein' starry skies
Love just hit me between the eyes
I only turned to take a look
And you took me by surprise
Once I trusted in my common sense
Then you busted in on my defense
Was I dense?
I'm seein' starry skies
Love just hit me between the eyes
I only turned to take a look
And you took me by surprise
