i haven't been there, i haven't done that

I never been one to know where it's at

I've been around and i've seen a few things

I don't know what a lot of it means

The truth'll never ring clear as a bell, but i...

Don't believe that you never can tell

Most things i don't have a clue

But i can tell by lookin' i know all about you



Chorus:

You don't have to put your hand in the fire

To know your little fingers are gonna get burned

You don't have to be standing on the moon

To know your little planet is gonna get turned

You don't have to take a walk in the sea

To know it gets a little deep and it's really not blue

I don't have to have my arms all around you

To know i wanna hold you and to know that i love you



I've never been one to go to extremes

I see 'em coming and i get in between

Never ahead and never behind

I figure everything'll happen in time

And just in time it's happening now

It's not up to either one of us to ever know how

With both eyes closed i could easily see

It's happening to you and it's gonna be me



Repeat chorus



Exit:

You don't have to put your hand in the fire

You don't have to be standing on the moon

No no, no no



You don't have to take a walk in the sea

To know it gets a little deep and it's really not blue

I don't have to have my arms all around you

To know i wanna hold you and to know that i love you



You don't have to put your hand in the fire

No not to feel the heat, no

You don't have to be standing on the moon

Not to know that i took

You don't have to take a walk in the sea

It's gettin' deep, i know it's gettin' deep now



You don't have to put your hand in the fire

Ahh not to feel the heat, no

You don't have to be walkin' on the moon

I don't have to have my arms all around you

To know i wanna hold you and to know that i love you

Yes i do
