lyrics

I wasn't in my right mind, I knew better
Nothin' was clear but the love in your eyes
Passion cut off all fear of pain
No logic at all released in my brain
That was the first time but not the last
I'm standing here baby ready for another chance

I was a fool to fall so far
But I'd do it again with you
I don't know how to guard my heart
Cause love just ain't that smart

Your touch cut off all my good sense
The state I was in was so intense
That was the first time but not the last
I'm standing here baby ready for a second chance

I was a fool to fall so far
But I'd do it again with you
If we could take it from the start
but love just ain't that smart

at letting go or giving up
getting over your sweet touch
Love forgets all your wrongs and it helps you carry on
