I haven't been there, I haven't done that
|
I never been one to know where it's at
|
I've been around and I've seen a few things
|
I don't know what a lot of it means
|
The truth'll never ring clear as a bell, but I...
|
Don't believe that you never can tell
|
Most things I don't have a clue
|
But I can tell by lookin' I know all about you.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You don't have to put your hand in the fire
|
To know your little fingers are gonna get burned
|
You don't have to be standing on the moon
|
To know your little planet is gonna get turned
|
You don't have to take a walk in the sea
|
To know it gets a little deep and it's really not blue
|
I don't have to have my arms all around you
|
To know I wanna hold you and to know that I love you.
|
|
I've never been one to go to extremes
|
I see 'em coming and I get in between
|
Never ahead and never behind
|
I figure everything'll happen in time
|
And just in time it's happening now
|
It's not up to either one of us to ever know how
|
With both eyes closed I could easily see
|
It's happening to you and it's gonna be me.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You don't have to put your hand in the fire
|
To know your little fingers are gonna get burned
|
You don't have to be standing on the moon
|
To know your little planet is gonna get turned
|
You don't have to take a walk in the sea
|
To know it gets a little deep and it's really not blue
|
I don't have to have my arms all around you
|
To know I wanna hold you and to know that I love you.
|
|
You don't have to put your hand in the fire.
|
|
You don't have to be standing on the moon
|
No. No, No No.
|
|
Now, You don't have to take a walk in the sea
|
To know it gets a little deep and it's really not blue
|
Now, I don't have to have my arms all around you
|
To know I wanna hold you and to know that I love you.
|
|
You don't have to put your hand in the fire
|
No, not to feel the heat, no
|
You don't have to be standing on the moon
|
Not to know that I took the time to see
|
You don't have to take a walk in the sea
|
It's gettin' deep, I know it's gettin' deep now.
|
|
You don't have to put your hand in the fire
|
Ahh, not to feel the heat, no
|
You don't have to be walkin' on the moon
|
Walkin' on the moon, walkin' on the moon
|
I don't have to have my arms all around you
|
To know I wanna hold you and to know that I love you.
|
|
Yes, I do, love you...
