Getting Out Of Hand
Bangles · Other Songs - Bangles
You've been lookin' for me
If I've been stayin' out of your way
I've done it intentionally
Saw you walking with her
(walkin' with her)
Always kept that few steps behind,yeah
Wonder if she knows for sure
(she knows for sure)
Her man's going on walkin' the line
Then I say to myself "beware"
It's geting out of hand (out of hand)
It's geting out of hand (don't look now)
If he's lovin' you, he's not being true
He's got another woman, yeah
Look me right in the eye
Tell me I'm the one that you love
Right back into your eyes
Forgetting how determined I was
Then I tell to myself "beware"
It's getting out of hand (out of hand)
It's getting out of hand (don't look now)
If he's lovin' you, he's not being true
He's got another woman, yeah
A friend told me yesterday,hey.
