Every now an' then I get a little lost.
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed.
Every now an' then, I'm right up on the edge,
Dangling my toes out over the ledge.
An' I just thank God you're here.
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun,
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone,
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy:
No matter where my reckless soul takes me,
Baby, you save me.
It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul:
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know,
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself.
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else,
And I thank God you do.
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun,
An' when I'm a firecracker comin' undone,
An' when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy:
No matter where my reckless soul takes me,
Baby, you save me.
I know I don't tell you nearly enough,
That I couldn't live one day without your love.
When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves,
Up on a highwire that's ready to break.
An' when I've had just about all I can take,
Baby, you; baby, you save me.
When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun,
An' when I'm a firecracker comin' undone,
An' when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy:
No matter where my reckless soul takes me,
Baby, you save me.
