🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Get you too far
  • Don't you know, don't you know
  • That it's wrong to take what is given you?
  • So far gone, on your own

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Get you too far
  • High and dry, out of the rain
  • It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
  • And don't you know that a love can't grow, ooh
