She's the restless one, with a windswept heart
If I could only touch her-If I could only hold her
Well she's the only one-I see her comin' and I fall apart
But she will never touch me-She will never hold me
And I would die to be with her tonight
BUT LIKE A RIVER, SHE RUNS WILD
LIKE A RIVER SHE WON'T BE TAMED
AND IN HER RIVER, I'M DROWNIN'
AND LIKE A FOOL, I LOVE IN VAIN
Though I try to keep her, she only leaves me cryin'
I see her walkin' down the street-I watch her walkin' down my street
There ain't no way that you can miss her-There ain't no way that you can win
Everybody tries to stake her out-Will I ever know what she's about?
I'd kill to be with her tonight
(CHORUS)
Like a river she pull me in-Like a river she drags me down
Though I try, but I just can't move-I wanna scream, but she won't let loose
No, she won't let loose
And now what am I-What am I-What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
(CHORUS 2x)
If I could only touch her-If I could only hold her
Well she's the only one-I see her comin' and I fall apart
But she will never touch me-She will never hold me
And I would die to be with her tonight
BUT LIKE A RIVER, SHE RUNS WILD
LIKE A RIVER SHE WON'T BE TAMED
AND IN HER RIVER, I'M DROWNIN'
AND LIKE A FOOL, I LOVE IN VAIN
Though I try to keep her, she only leaves me cryin'
I see her walkin' down the street-I watch her walkin' down my street
There ain't no way that you can miss her-There ain't no way that you can win
Everybody tries to stake her out-Will I ever know what she's about?
I'd kill to be with her tonight
(CHORUS)
Like a river she pull me in-Like a river she drags me down
Though I try, but I just can't move-I wanna scream, but she won't let loose
No, she won't let loose
And now what am I-What am I-What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
(CHORUS 2x)
