Sometimes a careless word just rolls right off my tongue Now matter what I do it leaves you all undone Hey baby no need to go crazy over some little something I've said Can't you see you're the keeper of my heart Even when I lose my head We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets Even after all this time the slipper still fits Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin 'away Sometimes the whisper of love gets lost in the angry shout Even hearts that are in this deep might think about an easy way out One honest touch makes those worries just fade like stars at dawn These occasional moments of weakness Only makes our love more strong We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets Even after all this time the slipper still fits Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin 'away It gets easier all the time Oh and harder and harder to leave behind We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets Even after all this time the slipper still fits Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin 'away Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin 'away
