Sometimes Lovers Lyrics by America

View from the Ground

1982

[Verse 1]
Sometimes there are teardrops across your face
Sometimes there are rainbows in the same place
And I don't know which way to turn

[Chorus]
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
Sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
I know sometimes we act just the same

[Verse 2]
Your heart's in the city, it wears me down
No love, no pity in this town
And I don't know which way to turn

[Chorus]
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
Sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
I know, baby

[Bridge]
Hold on tight to me, mama
Tell me what went wrong
I'm alright, I will lay beside you
'Til the night is gone

[Chorus]
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
Sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame

[Chorus]
Sometimes lovers don't act like they should
Sometimes lovers don't do all they could
Sometimes lovers hide in the cover of innocence and blame
