Every time my heart begins to dance, the world steps on my little toes. Every time I take a little chance, I pay right through my little nose. And every time I fly my little kite, it catches on a tree. Every time I throw an anchor out, it pulls me in the sea. Every time I feel a little glow, I always get a little shock. Every time I stick my little chin out, I always get a little knock. And when I aim my arrows at the sun, they always miss their mark. I'm leaving just a lonely little girl in the dark. False or true, I wish I had a clue or two. Where I stood, I thought I knew or should. True or false, life was a never-ending waltz. Then it caught the somersaults for good. Might have known it would. Every time I'm sure that it's for real, I find it's just another game. Every time I'm sure I've met my match, we never seem to strike a flame. And when I build my castle in the sky, it's much too high to climb. I'm leaving me a lonely little girl every time.
