You don't know what you've got
'Till forever puts you on the spot
That's why I'm flyin', and cryin'
Every word I ever spoke
Was never deluded or some kinda joke
Now I'm flyin', and cryin'
You played it straight
You played it smooth
Laid fresh cut flowers all across my heart
You turned my head
You made me smile
I even loved you for a little while
We were young and had no fears
There was danger in the atmosphere
We were flyin', yes and cryin'
Now I wanna spew out words
That makes a lady less of a girl
So I'm flyin', and cryin'
I played it fast
I played it loose
No one could save me from the hangman's noose
I pushed my luck
Beyond the brink
It's such a shame I never stop to think
That we were trippin' on a ray of hope
And we were both runnin' out of rope
Now I'm flyin', and cryin'
You don't know what you've lost
'Till you can see beyond the lines you've crossed
Keep me flyin', and cryin'
Now I'm flyin', and cryin'
We're both flyin', and cryin'
Now we're flyin', and cryin'
