Recorded by Vitus Mataré at Lyceum Studios in 1981.

lyrics

Hate to admit that it’s true but
I’m infatuated with you

I’ve tried to act like I really don’t care
I always look away when I’d really rather stare
Cause heaven forbid that you should know
I just can’t let this side of me show

I’m too old to be acting this obsessive
Why’s it so hard to keep these things in perspective?

Like we’ve never had a word and you don’t know my name
Big deal if you did – it’s still be the same
Cause you’re a them the special they and I’m not in this crowd
You’d never take me serious – I know that’s not allowed

But when I think about you goodbye practicality
Suddenly I just don’t understand about reality

I hope it’s not going to stay like this
When you’re around I’m not myself
And I don’t understand why you do this to me
When I’m so cool with everyone else

I’m trying to keep things in perspective
I’m trying not to be too obsessive
But when I think about you goodbye practicality
Suddenly I just don’t understand about reality

To hell with the odds and how it's always been
I won’t be realistic and I won’t give in

I’m trying to keep things in perspective
I’m trying not to be too obsessive
But when I think about you goodbye practicality
Suddenly I just don’t understand about reality, reality, reality
