Joe Jackson Rush Across the Road song lyrics

Of all the streets in the world

You walk down this one

And I see three hundred girls

But just want to kiss one

Someone that we've loved before

Is a love for ever

But I never thought you'd floor me again

Maybe I should...

Leave my heavy load behind

It just takes a second to know your mind

And do what you've got to do

I'll – rush across the road to catch up with you

Catch up with you

Some things come to an end

Before they're done with

Were we too young to be friends

That you just have fun with

What were all our fights and fears

'Cause I can't remember

And I've had enough of tears anyway

So I think I'll...

Leave my heavy load behind

It just takes a second to know your mind

And do what you've got to do

I'll – rush across the road to catch up with you

Catch up with you

Time after time I'm reminded that it's a crime to say I've lost

When I decline just to find out the final score

Why can't I pass the line and defy the sign that says Don't Cross

Or what am I living for

Funny how the blink of an eye

Can last forever

And how we think ourselves dry

When it's now or never

If I wait for one more sigh

You could turn and see me

Then I'll never know what I would have done

So I'm going to...

Leave my heavy load behind

It just takes a second to know your mind

And do what you've got to do

I'll – rush across the road to catch up with you

Catch up with you
