Flying high out on a limb we’ll be.
We’ve got more than we could ever see.
But to keep it is harder than anything else.
I love ya, let me tell ya
We can’t go on.

That’s why I say, yeah, I’ve got enough heartache.
Tell me what you see when you look at me.
Yeah We’ve got a good thing, let’s not loose it.
Is it right, is it wrong when you say you won’t be long
I’ve got enough, I’ve got enough heartache. Ooh, ooh.

Flying high out on a limb we’ll be.
We’ve got more than we could ever see.
Lonely, I cross on the other side of the street.
I’m mixed up, not messed up.
Strong, it seems I’m weak.

And that’s why I’ve got enough heartache.
Tell me what you see when you look at me. Yeah
We’ve got a good thing, let’s not loose it.
Whoa, oh
Yeah, I’ve got enough, I’ve got enough heartache. Ooh, ooh.

Sittin’ here, wanting you by my side.
Should I runaway? No, I don’t care to hide.
Oh

And that’s why I’ve got enough I’ve got enough heartache.
Tell me what you see when you look at me. Yeah
We’ve got a good thing, let’s not loose it.
Am I right, am I wrong when you say you won’t be long Yeah
I’ve got enough, I’ve got enough heartache. Oh, oh.
Yeah, we’ve got a good thing let’s not loose it
Oh, oh
Yeah, I’ve got enough heartache
Whoa, Yeah
Yeah, we’ve got a good thing let’s not loose it
