(Oh oh oh oh oh) Got eighteen miles and a million excuses Keep saying the right words, but where is the movement? 'Cause if you really loved, if you really loved You would be right here And if you really cared, if you really cared You wouldn't be there But you got eighteen miles and a million excuses I'm in the valley baby come pick me up I'll meet you halfway if you don't let me down 'Cause I'm in the valley baby come pick me up And show me love Your head in the clouds you're lost in the music Out chasing the crowd tell me why do you do this? 'Cause if you really loved, if you really loved You would be right here And if you really cared, if you really cared You wouldn't be there But you got your head in the clouds and a million excuses I'm in the valley baby come pick me up I'll meet you halfway if you don't let me down 'Cause I'm in the valley baby come pick me up And show me love It's so dry in the desert skin so hard plus you bring cold weather Meet me in the valley wearing hightops and leather we can drive, drive, drive It's so dry in the desert skin so hard plus you bring cold weather Meet me in the valley wearing hightops and leather we can drive, drive, drive I'm in the valley baby come pick me up I'll meet you halfway if you don't let me down 'Cause I'm in the valley baby come pick me up And show me love
