Quarterflash - Critical Times lyrics

All the trouble I make through
The things I do
They keep catching up with me
They tend to leave us to
I don’t always know when I’m right
But, I sure know when I’m wrong
I’m feeling self pity and yet
Still writing sad stupid songs

She says you say what you want
Do what you say these are critical times
Love is fading away
We can go through the tops
And we can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading away
You lose all track of yourself
When you’re feeling that way
You could always hide yourself in corners
Worrying about all the miserable things but
Everyone seems to swim in it
It makes the world go round
I’m somewhere floundering
Feeling like I’ve been drowned

So I say what I want and I do what I say
These are critical times love is fading away
I can go through the tops
And I can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading

I don’t believe in much
And I never gave it time
To tell anybody how I’m willing
To give to them all my life yeah
I don’t believe it
She has a look there in her eyes
She’s trying to get through to me
She’s gonna stick this out one more time
So you’re cruisin’ down the road of life
Should be feeling strong
You never had the feeling yet
And it always leads you all wrong
You’re best when you grab hold of yourself
Since you know you’re gonna fall
You can check out on me
Any time that you like
Love is bittersweet, that’s all

So we say what we want and we do what we say
These are critical times love is fading away
We can go through the tops
And we can live through these games
It never changes how it feels
When your love is fading
Oh, no you say what you want
(say what you want) and you do what you say
(you do what you do by now that)
These are critical times love is fading away
We can go through the tops (through the tops)
And we can live through these games
It never changes how we feel
