A Better Way: Beverly Hills Cop 2 (James Ingram)
It's only been a week but I ain't had no sleep
Since you've been gone
Thought I was strong enough to take it
But I'm too weak to make it on my own
I still curse the day, I let you walk away
That's right where I went wrong
Well, I'm losin' sanity, I made a fool of me
Now you're gone
There's got to be a better way
To lose my mind
Than to sit here thinkin' about you
All the time
Listenin' to these sad, sad songs
Mixin' memories with old forgotten wine
There's got to be a better way
To lose my mind
I could paint circles
'Round the rainbows in the sky
And I could wipe away
The shadows of doubt weepin' in your eyes
I could even walk on water
And soar were eagles dare to fly, dare to fly
Or go bathin' in the beauty of my sorrows
On an early mornin' high
There's got to be a better way
To lose my mind
Than to sit here thinkin' about you
All the time
And listenin' to these sad, sad songs
Mixin' memories with old forgotten wine
There's got to be a better way
To lose my mind
Said, listenin' to these sad, sad songs
Mixin' memories with old forgotten wine
There's got to be a better way
To lose my mind
There's got to be a better way
