It's Sad To Belong

B.J. Thomas · Other Songs - B.J. Thomas

Met you on a springtime day

You were mindin' your life

And I was mindin' mine too

Lady when you looked my way

I had a strange sensation

And darlin' that's when I knew



That it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along

Yes it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along



Oh I wake up in the night

And I reach beside me hopin' you will be there

But instead I find someone

Who believed in me when I said I'd always care



Oh it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along

Yes it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along



So I lived my life in a dream world

For the rest of my days

Just you and me walkin' hand in hand

In a wishful memory

Oh I guess that's all that it would ever be



Wish I had a time machine I could

Make myself go back until the day I was born

And I would live my life again

And rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now on



Oh it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along

Yes it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along



Oh it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along

Yes it's sad to belong to someone else

When the right one comes along



Oh it's sad

Oh it's sad

Oh it's sad

Oh it's sad
