You wonder why
Life looks so much easier
Every time that she’s close by
Is it her smile
that makes you want to hold her
better watch out that you don’t build
your hopes up too high

Look before you leap
or soon you’ll be off
in a wild love affair
Think of what you’ll reap
and what will be lost
if you do set your mind
on a wild love affair

You tell yourself
you can’t control your feelings
you lose your head
when she’s close by yeah
And when she’s there
there’s nothing more to hold you
Better be sure of yourself
for the stakes are real high

Look before you leap
or soon you’ll be off
in a wild love affair
Think of what you’ll reap
and what will be lost
if you do set your mind
on a wild love affair

And whenever you touch
it’s like heaven’s calling
but will it feel the same
when the next morning comes

You will never get off
This train will keep on rolling
She’s gonna cling to you
when the next morning comes

Look before you leap
or soon you’ll be off
in a wild love affair
Think of what you’ll reap
and what will be lost
if you do set your mind
on a wild love affair
