When Love Catches Up On You

(album: Good Things Happening - 1974)

Someone's kissing someone else
And I wish that someone else was me
Heartaches, that's all I ever had
Heartbreaks, breaking me up so bad
Someday you'll pay
You'll pay the price of a broken promise

What ya gonna do?
When love starts catching up on you
What ya gonna do?
When you find that your heart's burning too
Who are you gonna get to put out the fire
Burning, burning, higher, higher
Burning through when love catches up on you

There were times I told myself
I'd never ever love again
I cried myself to sleep at night
I tried putting you out of sight
I can't make it
I'm gonna die if you don't come back

What ya gonna do?
When love starts catching up on you
What ya gonna do?
When you find that your heart's burning too
Who are you gonna get to put out the fire
Burning, burning, higher, higher
Burning through when love catches up on you
