[FEMALE SINGER]:
Neverwin and never lose
There's nothing
much to choose
Between the right and wrong
Nothing lost and
nothing gained
Still things aren't
quite the same
Between you and me
[BOAT MOTOR STARTS]
I keep a close watch
on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch
on this heart of mine
I still hear your
voice at night
When I turn out the light
And try to settle down
But there is
nothing I can do
'Cause I can't
live without you
Any way at all
I keep a close watch
on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch
on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch
on this heart of mine
Hoo, hoo...
