Everything That's Wrong Lyrics - Linda Eder

Everybody needs to be with somebody 

Even after all the cold hard facts are known 

Like your heart will probably break 

What with all that give and take 

Still you just can't seem 

To leave the thing alone 

So you hold your breath 

And you count to ten 

And you're scared to death 

But you close your eyes 

And fall in love again 

'Cause in the middle of the night 

He'll hold you tight 

And then everything that's wrong 

Will be alright 

Now you swear you'll keep romance 

In perspective 

But, with love, 

It's always famine or it's feast 

And a hungry heart forgets 

Tends to minimize regrets 

So as sure as there's 

A sunrise in the east 

There's a silver moon 

That your heart can't waste 

And then pretty soon, 

There's a stranger's kiss 

That you can't wait to taste 

'Cause when the apple is in sight 

You take a bite 

Hopin' everything that's wrong 

Will be alright 

Maybe this time jealousy and fear 

Will get the best of you 

Maybe this time you will give a little more 

Maybe this time you will look 

And find somebody who 

Isn't quite as crazy as those times before 

So you try again 

'Till you get it right 

And you never know when to let it go 

Or when to hold on tight 

But when there's nothin' else that works 

Well, love just might 

So when romance comes along 

We all struggle to belong 

So that everything that's wrong 

Will be alright
