Paroles de On The Level

I knew that it was wrong
I didn't have a doubt
I was dying to get back home
And you were starting out
I said I'd best be moving on
You said we have all day
You smiled at me like I was young
It took my breath away
Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets all in view
My loss, my loss was saying found
My don't was saying do

Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too

Now I'm living in this temple
Where they tell you what to do
I'm old and I've had to settle
On a different point of view
Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets in my view
My loss, my loss was saying found
My don't was saying do

Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too

They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too

They oughta give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the devil
Turned my back on the angel, too
