You Don't Really Know (How Far You Can Go)

(album: This Much A Man - 1972)

I told myself there's no harm in just being friends
She belongs to another but it won't hurt to see her again
Now she's here in my arms and I'm trying to pretend it's not wrong

You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone

Don't take no chances, be careful and no one will know
But when she comes around I can't help it if my feelin's show
Now the whole town is talking and the one that really loves me is gone

You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone

I called her up and she says she can't see me again
She's found another but still thinks of me as a friend
Looks like I've gained a friend but I've lost everything that I own

You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone
You don't really know how far you can go till you're already gone
