Slipping Away

Pretty lady I was married to, I left you with the kids so I could run off and play—I did exactly what I wanted to

Until the day you told me love was slipping away, but that was all right, I was bigger than we were

Love was cheap and easy—comes around every day. I was breaking your heart, I was driving you crazy

Too late the day I noticed love had already been here and gone...left just in time

It’s slipping away, slipping away, It’s slipping away, slipping away

 

Next lady I was married to, you tell me that you love me but you don’t really care

I’m closing my heart just like you want me to and did I think to tell you love is slipping away and then it’s

all night there’s a cold front at home, I try to warm the evening but you push me away,
you’re breaking my heart while you’re driving me crazy,

and oh, by the way, love has already been here and gone...left just in time

 

Now I’ve grown up it was a matter of time, and though I’m not old, I’m getting there

I’m so sick of this heat are we done with summertime? The signs of the autumn are everywhere I’m well aware

I’m still searching for love, time is passing me by, and love is slipping away

Love is slipping away, it’s slipping away, slipping away

It’s slipping away, slipping away, love is slipping away, love is slipping away, life is slipping away, time is slipping away, slipping away, love is slipping away, slipping away
