Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Keep on missin' each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
[Verse 2]
And we keep on missin' each other
Keep on missin' each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
[Verse 3]
Will we ever learn?
In trouble, where will we turn?
And when you're losing the fight
Who's your white knight gonna be?
[Verse 4]
(Oh)
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 a dream
[Verse 5]
Keep on missin' each other (Missin' each other)
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity (Opportunity)
[Verse 6]
And we keep on missin' each other
(Missin' each other)
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity (Missed opportunity)
[Verse 7]
Talk, but never show
You're holdin' back
Words lack meaning, that's all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words don't work for me
[Verse 8]
Ooh, who understands
Why the world's nasty, girl
When we're doin' the best we can?
Even though we're walkin' a wire
Where there's hope, there's desire
Callin' you back to your white knight
[Verse 9]
Keep on missin' each other (Missin' each other)
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity (Missed opportunity)
[Verse 10]
And we keep on missin' each other (Missin' each other)
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity (Missed opportunity)
[Verse 11]
Baby now, who understands?
Not you, not me
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 12]
Keep on missin' each other
Our world's out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
[Verse 13]
Oh, we keep holdin' on
Keep on missin' each other (Can't get it together)
Our world's out of order
Seems to me we're wastin' all our time
Missed opportunity
That's right
[Verse 14]
Oh, we keep holdin' on
Keep on missin' each other (I try to keep holdin' on)
Our world's out of order (No use, baby)
Keep missin' (Missed opportunity)
I tried
Keep on missin' each other (Tryin' so hard now)
Our world's out of order
Could've been, should've been
Missed opportunity
And we keep on missin' each other (Ooh, we almost made it, baby)
Our world's out of order
Tried so hard, we got so far
Missed opportunity (Ooh, we keep holdin' on)
We keep on
