I Go to Extremes

Lyrics

Call me a joker, call me a fool
 Right at this moment, I'm totally cool
 Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
 I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
 Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
 I don't know how long this feeling will last
 Maybe it's only tonight
 Darling, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 Too high or too low
 There ain't no in-betweens
 And if I stand or I fall
 It's all or nothing at all
 Darling, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
 Sometimes I don't know how much more I got
 Maybe I'm headed over the hill
 Maybe I set myself up for the kill
 Tell me, how much do you think you can take
 Until the heart in you is starting to break?
 Sometimes it feels like it will
 Darling, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 Too high or too low
 There ain't no in-betweens
 You can be sure when I'm gone
 I won't be out there too long
 Darling, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 Out of the darkness, into the light
 Leaving the scene of the crime
 Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right
 Every time
 Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
 Coming apart at the seams
 Eager to please, ready to fight
 Why do I go to extremes?
 ♪
 And if I stand or I fall
 It's all or nothing at all
 Darling, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 No, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 Too high or too low
 There ain't no in-betweens
 You can be sure when I'm gone
 I won't be out there too long
 Darling, I don't know why
 I go to extremes
 ♪
 I don't know why, I don't know why
 I don't know why, I don't know why
 Out of the dark, into the light
 Whether I'm wrong, perfectly right
 I don't know why
