Livingston Taylor Shouldn't Have Fallen For You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I shouldn't have let in the spring time
I shouldn't have felt the warm sun
I shouldn't have thought I wouldn't get caught
When the blues had me on the run

I shouldn't have figured when we met
Life would get easy and new
Children at play, at the end of the day
I shouldn't have fallen for you

[Verse 2]
I shouldn't have gone to the fair
Princesses, ponies and clowns
Baseball for me, first throw was free
And the milk bottles all tumbled down

When I threw to win you a panda
My aim became weak and untrue
Mad at myself, bear on the shelf I shouldn't have fallen for you

[Bridge]
Why do I insist on being part of a perfect care?
Where someone would be so wrapped up in me
That I'd forget I was there
[Verse 3]
I shouldn't have pined for perfection
I should've tried to resist
The fantasy of timeless love
The dream of an endless kiss

Snow cone melting on my sleeve
Now I'm purple and blue
I'm wide awake, boy, I ache
Whistling loudly at my mistake
Handle to face, I stepped on a rake
My heart is breaking in two
I shouldn't have fallen for you
