It's Sad To Belong (Single Version) Lyrics
England Dan & John Ford Coley
Lyrics
Met you on a springtime day
You were minding your life
And I was minding mine, too
Lady, when you looked my way
I had a strange sensation
And, darling, that's when I knew
That it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, I wake up in the night
And I reached beside me
Hoping you will be there
But instead I find someone
Who believed in me when I said
I'd always care
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
So I lived my life in a dream world
For the rest of my days
Just you and me walking hand in hand
In a wishful memory
Oh, I guess that's all
That it would ever be
Wish I had a time machine
I could make myself go back
Until the day I was born
And I would live my life again
And rearrange it so that
I'd be yours from now on
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Oh, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
When the right one comes along
Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else
