[Verse 1: Patty Smyth]
Now, I don't wanna lose you
But I don't wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
[Pre-Chorus: Patty Smyth]
And that don't really matter
To anyone anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
[Chorus: Patty Smyth, Don Henley & both]
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough
[Verse 2: Patty Smyth & Don Henley]
Now, I could never change you
I don't want to blame you
Baby, you don't have to take the fall
Yes, I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just want to have it all
[Pre-Chorus: Patty Smyth, Don Henley & both]
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change
[Chorus: Patty Smyth, Don Henley & both]
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough
[Bridge: Patty Smyth]
And there's no way home
When it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
And do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay
[Chorus: Patty Smyth, Don Henley & both]
And there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough
Baby, sometimes love
It just ain't enough, oh, no, no
Now, I don't wanna lose you
But I don't wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
[Pre-Chorus: Patty Smyth]
And that don't really matter
To anyone anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
[Chorus: Patty Smyth, Don Henley & both]
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough
[Verse 2: Patty Smyth & Don Henley]
Now, I could never change you

Baby, you don't have to take the fall

Baby, sometimes love
It just ain't enough, oh, no, no
