You can howl at the moon if you want to
You can seek out someone for your desire
But you can’t make them feel the way you do
No matter how many ways you conspire

The same thing holds true for the other
They can think you’re their answer to love
But if you don’t feel it you’ll try to cover
And keep them guessing what you’re thinking of

Time will go by
But your wandering eye
Will reveal how you lie
Then your temp love will die

And it’s back to square one you are hunting
Hoping somehow you’ll find the right one
But more often than not you’ll be bunting
Trying to get to first base for some fun

Time will go by
But your wandering eye
Will reveal how you lie
Then your temp love will die

You find you have had enough pretending
You decide to take a break for a while
This path you’re on it just seems never ending
You don’t want to have to fake another smile

Then someone comes along and makes it alright

Now you don’t howl at the moon anymore
Someone has caused you to change
They’re making sure you don’t walk out their door
You’re giving up your free range

Time will go by
But your wandering eye
Will stay fixed on the prize
Finally you realize

That you don’t have to keep on pretending
There’s no need to take a break for a while
You hope this path you’re on is never ending
You will not have to fake another smile

Cause someone came along and made it alright
