Lyrics Carole King

Carole King

Standin' On The Borderline

We're standin' on the borderline

Between falling in love and falling apart

I'm ready to cross the borderline

If I can't have you, it'll break my heart

Nothing really holds a candle to love

But you gotta know how to handle your love

If you want it to last

You just can't let it burn out too fast

You can't stand still on the borderline

You either make your move or you turn away

I'm too close to the borderline

I'm coming across if you want me to stay

You know I'm experienced

Every day can't be a fireworks show

But when you walk in the room

And it starts to glow

You don't have to tell me

I already know

We're ready to cross the borderline

Between falling in love and falling apart

Ready to cross the borderline

If I can't have you, it'll break my heart

We're standin' on the borderline

Ready to cross the borderline

Standin' on the borderline

If I can't have you, it'll break my heart

Standin' on the borderline

Ready to cross the borderline

Standin' on the borderline

If I can't have you, it'll break my heart

Standin' on the borderline

Ready to cross the borderline

Standin' on the borderline

If I can't have you, it'll break my heart
