You've never cheated, you've never lied you've never had feeling's that you've had to hide
For she's got you thinking of something so different tonight
It's too late to worry what's right or what's wrong and you're a little too crazy to leave it alone
When you're looking at something that's too good to push it aside
Boy, she's got your head in the clouds and your heart in a bind
How come you're feeling so proud when your love's on the line?
You still think your first love's the best in your life when you know you should hurry
But you can't say goodbye 
And you know you can't go back and feel like you're where you belong
Now the sweet taste of freedom is hard to control when the touch of a woman's so tender to hold
She won't even let you remember how long you've been gone
Boy, you've got your head in the clouds and your heart in a bind
So how come you're feeling so proud when your love's on the line?
Yeah you've got your head in the clouds and your heart in a bind
So how come you're feeling so proud when your love's on the line?
