B.J. Thomas - Conversation

Conversation
Is gettin' so hard to make
I try to communicate
But I can't get through

We are strangers
But I remember when
You used to be my friend
And my lover too

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
I just wonder how we ever got this way

Conversation
That's what it's all about
Why can't we talk it out
And say what's on our minds

Situations
Keep gettin' in the way
So much we need to say
But we're runnin' out of time

And I don't really know how it happened
I have tried
But I don't understand
How we ever let it get so out of hand

When it's gone
It's gone forever
When it's gone
It's gone for good

Conversation
Things that we've done and said
Keep runnin' through my head
Like a sad echo
No

Desperation
It's gettin' the best of me
I can't make you see
And I can't let go
No

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
But I can't bring myself
To throw it all away
