Thinkin' 'bout it too much now,
Know less about it all the time,
Thinkin' 'bout it too much now,

Better off not even tryin'.

Sometimes, just gotta step back,

Close your eyes,
And let it pass on by.


Friends all said I'd be sorry,
Said if I fell for you, I'd pay a price,
Yeah, my riends all said I'd be sorry,

I never listened, but it sure was good advice,

Sometimes you gotta step back,

doesn't matter how much you care,
How you gonna keep holdin' on to something
Just not even there,

Sometimes you just gotta step back,
Close your eyes,
And let it pass on by.


Long cold winter,
Cold and lonely in my bed,

Long cold, cold winter,
So many words, so little said;
Sometimes you just gotta step back,

Close your eyes,
And let it pass on by,
Lord, let it pass on by,

Just let it pass on by.
