Daryl Hall & John Oates - Missed Opportunity lyrics

(Music by Daryl Hall; Lyrics by Daryl Hall, John Oates, Sara Allen)

Keep on missing each other

Our world's out of order

All I see is Missed Opportunity

Will we ever learn

In trouble where will we turn

And when you're losing the fight

Who's your white knight gonna be

Feel you drift away

(oh baby) You don't hear what I'm sayin'

We had a chance to stay together

Ooh forever

But we got lost in the dream

Keep on missing each other

Our world's out of order

All I see is Missed Opportunity

Talk but never show

You're holding back

Words lack meaning that's all

Things you say ricochet

Miss by a mile

The words don't work for me

Ooh who understands.

Why the world's nasty girl

When we re doin' the best we can

Even tho we're walking a wire

Where there's hope there's desire

Calling you back to your white knight
