Catch 22

(album: Quiet Storm - 1986)

Time is up, you've had it all your way
But every table turns
Now you're out of luck, you got some dues to pay, baby
For bridges you've burned
You wanna give, but you let your heart grow cold
And you wanna live, but you're afraid of growing old
The ultimate no-win situation

A catch 22, falling in love
Catch number 22, you win, you lose
A catch 22, falling in love
Just a no-win situation

You're in and out and then you're up and down
Much to my concern
You wanna fall in love and spread it all around, sugar
When will you learn
Some things about love can really make you climb on walls
But living without love isn't really life at all
Love is a two-way situation

A catch 22, falling in love
Catch number 22, you win or lose
A catch 22, falling in love
Just a no-win situation

People in love find it hard to stay together
You know love, love is a double-edged blade
You gotta learn how to live through stormy weather
It can sunshine every day, yeah

No, falling in love
Catch number 22, you win, you lose
A catch 22, falling in love
Just a no-win situation

When you fall in love
(In live)
It's a no-win situation
(When you fall in love, in love)
There's gonna be
There's gonna be some complication
When you fall in love
(In live)
Oh, baby, yeah...
