Well I’m here looking through an old picture frame  
Just waiting for the perfect view  
I hope something special will step in to my life  
Another fine edition of you  
A pin-up done in shades of blue

Dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need  
Dance into the fire, when all we see is the view to a kill

And I’d like to change my life, and you know I would  
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could  
But I’ve got my job to do, and I do it well,  
(Change my life) So I guess that’s how it is. (Change my life)

I feel unhappy, I feel so sad  
I lost the best friend that I ever had  
She was my woman, I loved her so  
But it’s too late now, I’ve let her go

I’m going through changes  
I’m going through changes

And if you say, “This life ain’t good enough”

Let’s take the car and save the fare  
We blew a gasket on the Grapevine  
And eighty dollars on repairs

I would never wish this much on you  
When what you have might be enough  
I would never want to drive that fast  
Unless you’re ready, willing, happy
