Livingston Taylor - Shouldn't Have Fallen For You

I shouldn't have let in the spring time
I shouldn't have felt the warm sun
I shouldn't have thought I wouldn't get caught
When the blues had me on the run
I shouldn't have figured when we'd met
Life would get easy and do
Children at play at the end of the day
I shouldn't have fallen for you

I shouldn't have gone to the fair
Princesses, ponies and clowns
Baseball for me, first throw was free
And the milk bottles all tumbled down
Then I threw to win you a panda
My aim became weak and untrue
Mad at myself, bear on the shelf,
I shouldn't have fallen for you

Why do I insist on being part of a perfect pair?
Where someone would be so wrapped up in me that I'd forget I was there.
I shouldn't have pined for perfection
I shouldn't try to resist
The fantasy of timeless love
And the dream of an endless kiss
Snow cone melting on my sleeve
Now I'm purple and blue

I'm wide awake boy I think whistling loudly at my mistake
Candle to face I step on the brink
My heart is breaking in two
I'm wide awake boy I think I shouldn't have fallen for you
