When I first laid eyes on you
Well, the night just felt so odd
You looked at me and the stars lined up
So I thought I'd heard from God
And I gave him my best shot
Loving you was like throwing a lasso
Around a tornado
I tried to hold on to you
Took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl
That sits on top of the world
Man, I thought I could show you
I've always been afraid of flying
But you can't blame a girl for trying
Felt like a pearl
When I was holding your hand
So precious I forgot
You could have any girl
But I only wanted one man
And you were everything I'm not
Still I gave it my best shot
Loving you was like throwing a lasso
Around a tornado
I tried to hold on to you
Took a turn on a high trapeze
Swinging over the deep
I thought I could show you
I've always been afraid of flying
But you can't blame a girl for trying
Like a vine
Bends a tree
To the ground
I won't hold you down
I tried to climb
Just as high
But I found all the clouds touch the ground
In this small town
Took a ride on a high trapeze
Swinging over the deep
I thought I could show you
That I've always been afraid of flying
But you can't blame a girl for trying
No, you can't blame a girl
