I’m afraid for you
I see that you’re faltering
You look so torn up
You don’t know where you want to go
You’ve lost your focus ¹
You’re out of balance
Look in the shadow of your mistakes;
you give phonies their chance
And from the left and the right
a harsh wind will direct you
Keep up with the times,
but don’t fall into the same old blunders
Cause the truth lies
somewhere in the middle
Please promise me
that you won’t lose
your balance
Your happiness lies
somewhere in the middle
Your heart belongs ²
somewhere in the middle
I worry about you
when you talk about your future
You’re easy to mislead
Don’t go along with the wrong crowd
You’re certainly not without fault,
but you’ve done quite well
I’m so happy with you
Promise me you’ll take good care of yourself
‘Cause from the left and right
a harsh wind will direct you
Go forward with the times,
but don’t make the same old mistakes
Cause the truth lies
somewhere in the middle
Please promise me
that you won’t lose
your balance
Your happiness lies
somewhere in the middle
Your heart belongs
somewhere in the middle
Cause the truth lies
somewhere in the middle
Please promise me
that you won’t lose
your balance
Your happiness lies
somewhere in the middle
Your heart belongs
somewhere in the middle
