Lasso lyrics

When I first laid eyes on you

Well, the night just felt so odd

You looked at me and the stars lined up

So I thought I'd heard from God

And I gave him my best shot

Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

I tried to hold on to you

Took a ride on a tilt-a-whirl that sits on top of the world

Man, I thought I could show you

I've always been afraid of flying

But you can't blame a girl for trying

Felt like a pearl when I was holding your hand

So precious I forgot

You could have any girl but I only wanted one man

And you were everything I'm not

Still I gave it my best shot

Loving you was like throwing a lasso around a tornado

I tried to hold on to you

Took a turn on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

I thought I could show you

I've always been afraid of flying

But you can't blame a girl for trying

Like a vine bends a tree to the ground

I won't hold you down

I tried to climb just as high

But I found all the clouds touch the ground

In this small town

Took a ride on a high trapeze swinging over the deep

I thought I could show you

That I've always been afraid of flying

But you can't blame a girl for trying

No, you can't blame a girl
