My gears they grind
More each day
And I feel like they're gonna grind away
Oh !
And the city blocks
They drive me wild
The never ending mile after mile.
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you.
It's heaven on earth
Is in her embrace
A gentle touch and a smilin' face.
I'm just one wishin'
That I was a pair
With someone
Oh somewhere.
I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you.
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I'm thinkin' it's here to stay
What more can I do
'cause I'm wringin' myself dry
And I can't afford to lose one more teardrop from my eye.
I'm too afraid
I'm too afraid
I just don't know what to do
With myself
I'm thinkin' all the time
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Drivin' me out of my mind.
