Love is a tricky thing As soon as you think you've got it you realize it's gone And when you think you're close enough to it You know it's been far too long I've read many times that love is patient, love is kind I've often heard that love only grows over time But why does my experience tell me not to put it all on the line for love Love is a tricky thing 'Cause you are all I've been looking for but you're not what I need I could've sworn we were meant to be But you cannot convince me No you're not for me Not this time Love is a tricky thing
Today I made up my mind to just move on with life And to leave it all behind Then all my resolve to let it go went right out the window Went right out the window Love is a tricky thing Do I turn off my thoughts and then erase my dreams Turn back to the way things used to be Close this chapter of my life and say goodbye I don't want to say goodbye But I want to say goodbye Until next time Love is a tricky thing As soon as I thought I had it I realized it's gone And as soon I grabbed onto it It slipped through my fingers
