Lyrics
What do I see when I look at you?
I see a woman so lovely with a heart so true
A girl so lonely so sad and blue
And I want to hold you to me
but it's not for me to do.
Oh how can can it be when I've waited so long
A love that's right for me has gone so wrong,
I was alone, feeling no pain
Now that you're gone I'll never be the same.
Please stop thinking
Please stop drinking from the well of tears
Please stop thinking
Please stop drinking from the well of tears
And don't try to tell me that it's all the fame
Don't try and tell me I'm the one to blame
Cause sooner or later if you wanna live
To get a little love you have to learn to give
Please stop thinking
And Please stop drinking from the well of tears
Oh Please stop thinking
And Please stop drinking from the well of tears
Love, love you say it's just a game (halftime feel)
It's One you cannot play
'cause it seems you never win,
You can't even tell that you're losing again
Pause then solo
Don't tell me that it's all the fame
Don't try and tell me I'm the one to blame
Cause sooner or later if you wanna live
To get a little love you have to learn to give
Please stop thinking
Please stop drinking from the well of tears
Yeah Please stop thinking
Please stop drinking from the well of tears
