My gears they grind more each day
And I feel like they're gonna grind away

And the city blocks, they drive me wild
They're never ending, mile after mile

I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

It's heaven on earth, it's in her embrace
Her gentle touch and her smilin' face

I'm just one wishing that I was a pair
With someone or somewhere

I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you
All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think it's here to stay

What more can I do?
'Cause I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye, oh

I'm too afraid, I'm too afraid
I just don't know what to do with myself
Thinkin' all the time, don't know what to do
Don't know what to do, drivin' me out of my mind
