New Kids On The Block - Keepin' My Fingers Crossed Lyrics

We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed

She was just turning 17
He always promised her he'd stay
They were so love crazy 'til she had a baby
Then he turned and walked away

How long will we keep this goin' on
Before we find a way
To care for each other
Living for today, we'll never see tomorrow

We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed

He was just out to get a wreck
He was too proud to show his pain
Someone pulled a trigger guess he never figured
He would lose at his own game

How long can we keep this goin' on
When no one takes the blame
There's so many gone
We could find a way, it may not be too late

We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed

Take a look around, see how hard it is
To survive these days but sometimes you wonder
How long can this keep goin' on
I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed

How long will we keep this goin' on
When no one takes the blame
There's so many gone
Livin' for today, we may not see tomorrow

We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
