lasso

when i first laid eyes on you

well

the night just felt so odd

you looked at me and the stars lined up

so i thought i'd heard from god

and i gave him my best shot

loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

i tried to hold on to you

took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl that sits on top of the world

man

i thought i could show you

i've always been afraid of flying

but you can't blame a girl for trying

felt like a pearl when i was holding your hand

so precious i forgot

you could have any girl but i only wanted one man

and you were everything i'm not

still i gave it my best shot

loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

i tried to hold on to you

took a turn on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

i thought i could show you

i've always been afraid of flying

but you can't blame a girl for trying

like a vine bends a tree to the ground

i won't hold you down

i tried to climb just as high

but i found all the clouds touch the ground

in this small town

took a ride on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

i thought i could show you

that i've always been afraid of flying

but you can't blame a girl for trying

no

you can't blame a girl
