Rick Springfield Desperate Lives Lyrics

What's the problem here
What's the noise
I'm just waiting for the man (yea)
Me and the boys

He's got the goods
We've got the twenties, tens and fives
Everybody's doing it
Living Desperate Lives (living on the edge)

Desperate Lives
I'm stuck in the middle
Desperate Lives
My life is a riddle
And I'm sure there's a way out
When I want it

Sometimes I worry
But I'm no fool
I keep it to myself
Cause you gotta stay cool

Desperate Lives
I'm stuck in the middle
Desperate Lives…

Sometimes I feel my life floating away
And times seems so precious
I want to hold you and say
I'm stuck in the middle Desperate Lives
My life is a riddle
Desperate Lives
I'm stuck in the middle

I've got this friend you know he's real cool
He gave new meaning to the term High School
Sometimes I worry
But I'm no fool
I keep it to myself
Cause you gotta stay cool

Desperate Lives
I'm stuck in the middle
Desperate Lives
My life is a riddle
And I'm sure there's a way out
When I want it

Momma just looks confused and my daddy said
I've got this bomb tick, tick, ticking in my head
I'm stuck in the middle

Desperate Lives
My life is a riddle
Desperate Lives
I'm stuck in the middle
