The Next Thing You Know

(album: Gary - 1979)

The next thing you know she'll be telling sad stories
How love lost it's glory, dying on the line
She'll be long gone
And what I'm thinking I'll take to drinking
The next thing you know

The next thing you know our love will be history
A total mystery you can read back home
I love that girl but I'm afraid I can't hold her
I'll be crazy as hell the next thing you know

The next thing you know she'll turn a cold shoulder
When I try to hold her she'll push me away
The bridge will fall down and sink in the ocean
It'll all be over the next thing you know

The next thing you know our love will be history
A total mystery you can read back home
I love that girl but I'm afraid I can't hold her
I'll be crazy as hell the next thing you know
