Now, everybody's breakin' up somebody else's home Before somebody else starts breaking up their own I get you in my dreams, you should hear the things you say It's not that it's so much fun, but it's safer that way Sneaky feelings, sneaky feelings You can't let those kind of feelings show I'd like to get right through the way I feel for you But I've still got a long way to go Why don't we call it a day, and we can both confess You can force me to use a little tenderness White lies, alibis, now anything but say that it's true Now we could sit like lovers, staring in each other's eyes But the magic of the moment might become too much for you Sneaky feelings, sneaky feelings You can't let those kind of feelings show I'd like to get right through the way I feel for you But I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go Oh, I've still got a long, long, long way to go Oh, I've still got a long way to go
