She came on like the night 
And she held on tight
And the world was right 
When she made love to me
We were free
She moved in like a friend  
Started loving me
And I thought 
I'd found my heaven in her arms
But the morning when I woke up
I was here and she was gone
Now I'm hanging on
Maybe you can tell me 

How a love so right 
Can turn out to be so wrong 
Oh, my darlin'
How a love so right
Can turn out to be so wrong


Where did she go 
When I need her close to me
And the perfect story ended at the start
I thought you came forever 
And you came to break my heart
Now I'm hanging on  
On the chance that you'll come back to me

How a love so right 
Can turn out to be so wrong  
Oh, my darlin'
How a love so right 
Can turn out to be so wrong  
Oh, my darlin'

I could take it in my stride
Start living for the moment
Maybe half the things we sought 
Were never there
Simply open up our eyes 
And break it down to size
It isn't really fair 

How a love so right 
Can turn out to be so wrong 
Oh, my darlin'
How a love so right 
Can turn out to be so wrong 
Oh my darlin'
How a love so right 
Can turn out to be so wrong 
Oh my darlin'
