Standing On The Borderline

STANDING ON THE BORDERLINE



by Gerry Goffin & Carole King







We're standing on the borderline



Between falling in love and falling apart



I'm ready to cross the borderline



If I can't have you it'll break my heart







Nothing really holds a candle to love



But y'gotta know how to handle your love



If y'want it to last



Y'just can't let it burn out too fast



Y'can't stand still on the borderline



You either make your move or y'turn away



I'm too close to the borderline



I'm coming across if you want me to stay







Y'know I'm experienced



Every day can be a fireworks show



But when y'walk in the room



And it starts to glow



You don't have to tell me



I already know







We're ready to cross the borderline



Between falling in love and falling apart



I'm ready to cross the borderline



If I can't have you it'll break my heart







We're standing on the borderline



Ready to cross the borderline



Standing on the borderline



If I can't have you it'll break my heart







We're standing on the borderline



Ready to cross the borderline



Standing on the borderline



If I can't have you it'll break my heart
