Right Planet, Wrong World

(Rick Springfield/Jeff Silverman)

You don't know how I feel to be a stranger in your eyes

I thought we had a deal no more danger and no more lies

I can't stop the world from turning 'round

I can't stop the tears from fallin' down

I thought this time for sure I was welcome home

It's the right planet, but the wrong world

And I came with my heart in my hands

It was the right emotion but the wrong girl

And I'm left in a strange foreign land (left in a strange foreign land)

You're out there on the ledge

I know that I can't begin to talk you down

You're too close to the edge

And a long way from the ground

You could stop yourself from holding on

But I'm not gonna push, I'm not that strong

This is some crazy world that you're living

It's the right planet, but the wrong world

And I came with my heart in my hands

It was the right emotion but the wrong girl

And I'm wonderin' if I'll ever get home

(Wonderin if I'll ever get)

Wonderin if I'll ever get home

Tell me this is all a bad, bad dream

We're not in the pain we seem

If we can wake up tomorrow

I can't stop the world from turning 'round

And I can't stop the tears from fallin' down

The right planet, but the wrong world

And I came with my heart in my hands

Right emotion but the wrong girl

And I'm left in a strange foreign land

It was the right planet, but the wrong world

And I came with my heart in my hands

It was the right emotion but the wrong girl

And I'm left in a strange foreign land

It was the right planet, but the wrong world

And I came with my heart in my hands

It was the right emotion but the wrong girl

And I'm left in a strange foreign land
