I Go To Extremes Lyrics By Billy Joel

    call me a joker call me a fool
    right at this moment i’m totally cool
    clear as a crystal sharp as a knife
    i feel like i’m in the prime of my life
    sometimes it feels like i’m going too fast
    i don’t know how long
    this feeling will last
    maybe it’s only tonight

    darling i don’t know
    why i go to extremes
    too high or too low
    there ain’t no inbetweens
    and if i stand or i fall
    it’s all or nothing at all
    darling i don’t know
    why i go to extremes

    sometimes i’m tired sometimes i’m shot
    sometimes i don’t know
    how much more i’ve got
    maybe i’m headed over the hill
    maybe i’ve set myself up for the kill
    tell me how much
    do you think you can take
    until the heart in you
    is starting to break
    sometimes it feels like it will

    darling i don’t know
    why i go to extremes
    too high or too low
    there ain’t no inbetweens
    you can be sure when i’m gone
    i won’t be out there too long
    darling i don’t know
    why i go to extremes

    out of the darkness into the light
    leaving the scene of the crime
    either i’m wrong
    or i’m perfectly right every time
    sometimes i lie awake night after night
    coming apart at the seams
    eager to please ready to fight
    why do i go to extremes

    and if i stand or i fall
    it’s all or nothing at all
    darling i don’t know
    why i go to extremes

    oh i don’t know
    why i go to extremes
    too high or too low
    there ain’t no inbetweens
    you can be sure when i’m gone
    i won’t be out there too long
    darling i don’t know
    why i go to extremes

    i don’t know why
    i don’t know why
    i don’t know why
    i don’t know why
    i don’t know why
    i don’t know why
    out of the dark into the lights
    either i’m wrong
    or i’m perfectly right
    i don’t know why
