Lyrics
Seems the only one who doesn’t see your beautyIs the face in the mirror looking back at youYou walk around here thinking you’re not prettyBut that’s not true ’cause I know you
Hold on, baby, you’re losing itThe water’s high, you’re jumping into itAnd letting go, and no one knowsThat you cry, but you don’t tell anyoneThat you might not be the golden oneAnd you’re tied together with a smileBut you’re coming undone
I guess it’s true that love was all you wanted‘Cause you’re givin’ it away like it’s extra changeHoping it will end up in his pocketBut he leaves you out like a penny in the rainOh, ’cause it’s not his price to payIt’s not his price to pay
Hold on, baby, you’re losing itThe water’s high, you’re jumping into itAnd letting go, and no one knowsThat you cry, but you don’t tell anyoneThat you might not be the golden oneAnd you’re tied together with a smileBut you’re coming undone
Hold on, baby, you’re losing itThe water’s high, you’re jumping into itAnd letting go, and no one knowsThat you cry, but you don’t tell anyoneThat you might not be the golden oneAnd you’re tied together with a smileBut you’re coming undone
You’re tied together with a smileBut you’re coming undone, ohGoodbye, babyWith a smile, baby, baby
