Slippin' Away (Chris Hillman)


People are talkin' about us
What did we do that's so wrong, so wrong
Now we've got a reputation 'bout a mile long

When we find ourselves on that one-way street
We're both headin' for trouble, you see
And it's so easy to find, you're walkin' so close to the line

And it's too late now what can you say
I can feel my love slippin' away
And somethin' inside says I'm a fool to stay
The one that you love is slippin' away

Last summer when we stayed out all night
Tellin' our stories until daylight
And you told me you loved me
Everything would be alright

You know that sneakin' away to have a good time
Sometimes you know you just got to unwind
And it's just not so easy, when walking so close to the line

And it's too late now what can you say
I can feel my love slippin' away
Somethin' inside says I'm a fool to stay
The one that you love is slippin' away
Slippin' away

And it's too late now what can you say
I can feel my love slippin' away
Somethin' inside says I'm a fool to stay
The one that you love is slippin' away

One that you love is slippin' away
One that you love is slippin' away
One that you love is slippin' away
Slippin' away
Slippin' away
