Cause now you got the wind in your hair
Your goodfriends scattered everywhere
It's so hard to make the right connection
when you've got the wrong direction

He said he'd promise you the part
You said you'd never break his heart
But they found him screaming for his mother
He wouldn't have another

So you went to Paris for awhile
The Paris sun made you smile
It's so hard to make the right connection
When you've got the wrong direction

CHORUS
And you know that your world
Keeps on turning around and around
And  you know that your soul
Keeps on burning for a sound of its own

Now you've got a child on your knee
And you're teaching him to see
How you had it all in the palm of your hand
But he doesn't understand

Cause as the years go by
And you become the diamond in his eye
Its so hard to make the right connection
When you've got the wrong direction
