She's in the rowboat Tears of laughter flooding her face She's bailing out her sinking ship He's on the shore He's knee deep in the water Clutching his life preserver For dear life She falls in love like she's going to the market Embracing each lover with ready arms He sleeps alone holding out for princess charming Stuffing his hands in the pockets of those old jeans She thinks that she's really living life And he thinks that she's reckless and careless But they've got the same blood but different ways Just let it be that way Just let it be that way She lays it all out right on the table She ain't got no secrets He doesn't speak unless he's spoken to And he keeps it all close to the vest She says 'I love you' like it's 'pass the salt dear' She makes it known before they slip away He whispers 'I love you' like it's a four letter word It's his gift to only one woman She thinks that she's really living life And he thinks that she's reckless and careless They've got the same blood but different ways Just let it be that way Just let it be that way I know you've walked through more life than I But I've seen some things in these 20 years And you can draw me all the maps of the falling places But the only way I'll find them is if I go there myself I'll do it myself Because I know that I'm really living life And I know you think that I'm reckless and careless But we've got the same blood but different ways Just let it be that way Just let it be that way
