STANDING ON THE BORDERLINE

by Gerry Goffin & Carole King



We're standing on the borderline

Between falling in love and falling apart

I'm ready to cross the borderline

If I can't have you it'll break my heart



Nothing really holds a candle to love

But y'gotta know how to handle your love

If y'want it to last

Y'just can't let it burn out too fast

Y'can't stand still on the borderline

You either make your move or y'turn away

I'm too close to the borderline

I'm coming across if you want me to stay



Y'know I'm experienced

Every day can be a fireworks show

But when y'walk in the room

And it starts to glow

You don't have to tell me

I already know



We're ready to cross the borderline

Between falling in love and falling apart

I'm ready to cross the borderline

If I can't have you it'll break my heart



We're standing on the borderline

Ready to cross the borderline

Standing on the borderline

If I can't have you it'll break my heart



We're standing on the borderline

Ready to cross the borderline

Standing on the borderline

If I can't have you it'll break my heart
