One times one ain't wonderful
When you're alone
Lost count of how many times
The birds have flown
They come and go so fast
They found your laughter didn't last
There's nothing shared
Should you be scared?

Pray for some relief
Or there'll be hell to pay today
Sometimes feel it's easier
To leave and stay away
You know it went
And changed so fast
Thought it surely would just last
They didn't care
Should you be scared?

Hanging around
Wishing you could go homeward
Living outside yourself
'Cause you haven't a home
Looking inside of yourself
But there's nothing worth owning
Haven't you heard
Those three words

Well oh well you slipped
And fell in love again
Looking up and smiling
Every now and then
They always drove so fast
You knew their fortune couldn't last
And they weren't spared
Should you be scared?

Hanging around
Wishing you could go homeward
Living outside yourself
'Cause you haven't a home
Looking inside of yourself
But there's nothing worth owning
Haven't you heard
Those three words

It wasn't long before
The brightness came
And then
It wasn't long before they felt the same

Hanging around
Wishing you could go homeward
Living outside yourself
'Cause you haven't a home
Looking inside of yourself
And there's something worth owning
Finally heard
Those three words
