Don't know how it got away from me

Don't know how I let things go, you see

Don't know why it took a sudden turn

Didn't seem to be a big concern

And everything is all too much

Hot and bothered, you're cool to the touch

And everyone is worlds apart

It must have been this way from the start

When there's nothing here to save the day

Then we have to say

There's a reason for it

When there's nothing left for us to do

You're left without a clue

There's a reason for it

Don't know how it got away from me

Don't know how I let things go, you see

Don't know why it took a sudden turn

Didn't seem to be a big concern

And everyone is all too well

All well-adjusted people

Can't you tell?

And everything is all too fast

Just add water nothing's built to last

When your colleagues can't recall your name

Time and time again

There's a reason for it

When your name's the butt of every joke

Just about to croak t

Here's a reason for it

And everyone is worlds apart

It must have been this way from the start

When there's nothing here to save the day

Then we have to say

There's a reason for it

When there's nothing left for us to do

You're left without a clue

There's a reason for it

There's a reason for it

There's a reason for it

There's a reason for it
