Last night you came home late

You tried to tiptoe in

I sat here for hours

Wondering where you've been

You ran into an old friend

And you just lost track of time

When you told me that there was something

About the twinkle in your eye 



So I just laughed it off

It's no big deal

It's a scratch I know

Tomorrow you're gonna heal

It's the easiest thing I could have done

When you love someone for the long run

For the long run 



I know I'm no angel

You know that's the truth

There's no need to remind me

Of all that we've been through

But the good times keep on coming

And the bad ones ain't so bad

And the worst that ever happens

Is still the best I've ever had 



So I just laughed it off

It's no big deal

It's a scratch I know

Tomorrow you're gonna heal

It's the easiest thing I could have done

When you love someone for the long run

For the long run 



One thing that you've taught me

That I never knew before

No one ever loses

If no one's keeping score 



So I just laughed it off

It's no big deal

It's a scratch I know

Tomorrow you're gonna heal

It's the easiest thing I could have done

When you love someone for the long run

For the long run 



When you love someone

Who's in it for the long run
