You don't know what you've got 'Till forever puts you on the spot That's why I'm flyin', and cryin' Every word I ever spoke Was never deluded or some kinda joke Now I'm flyin', and cryin' You played it straight You played it smooth Laid fresh cut flowers all across my heart You turned my head You made me smile I even loved you for a little while We were young and had no fears There was danger in the atmosphere We were flyin', yes and cryin' Now I wanna spew out words That makes a lady less of a girl So I'm flyin', and cryin' I played it fast I played it loose No one could save me from the hangman's noose I pushed my luck Beyond the brink It's such a shame I never stop to think That we were trippin' on a ray of hope And we were both runnin' out of rope Now I'm flyin', and cryin' You don't know what you've lost 'Till you can see beyond the lines you've crossed Keep me flyin', and cryin' Now I'm flyin', and cryin' We're both flyin', and cryin' Now we're flyin', and cryin'
