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
