Slipping Away - Magnum

If the people could only see you

It would come as a big surprise

That a person they watch on TV

Worries and laughs and cries

When they finally get to know you

They’ll be looking at someone else

And no matter what you keep saying

They’ll put you upon the shelf

There are plenty of things for you to do

But you’re letting it slip away

Yes, you’re letting it slip away, my friend

'Cause you’re thinking about today

When you’re moving up rather slowly

And putting yourself around

Just remember that on the way up

It’s easier to come down

'Cause when your money seems almost endless

Well, I know it’s been said before

But you know it won’t last a lifetime

Maybe you’ll need some more

There are plenty of things for you to do

But you’re letting it slip away

Yes, you’re letting it slip away, my friend

'Cause you’re thinking about today

If the people could only see you

It would come as a big surprise

That a person they watch on TV

Worries and laughs and cries

There are plenty of things for you to do

But you’re letting it slip away

Yes, you’re letting it slip away, my friend

'Cause you’re thinking about today

You’re letting it slip away, my friend

Yes, you’re letting it slip away

Yes, you’re letting it slip away, my friend

Yes, you’re letting it slip away

Yes, you’re letting it slip away, my friend

Yes, you’re letting it slip away

Yes, you’re letting it slip away, my friend

Yes, you’re letting it slip away
