It's Killing Me

(Album: The Wild, The Willing And The Innocent - 1981)

Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind

I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay

Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery

We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain?

Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery

When I'm with you, you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie?

Please tell me now, it's no secret
Is this surrender with defeat?
Do you let love pass you by?
Walk to a different beat

Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery

Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery

Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh
