On closer look it's not so black and white
The middle ground will clean your soul then make you cheat and lie
But you're gonna find out for yourself
You're gonna find our for yourself
On closer look she was not the girl I knew
Went to sea like a fish from the stream no choice but to cut her loose
And I had to find out for myself
I had to find out for myself
Danny came from Arkansas thought he'd get her back
But a woman's heart's like a piece a' clay, it'll harden up and crack
He had to find out for himself
He had to find out for himself
Don't rush to show that woman what you're worth
Let her stay and dig it out like a child in the dirt
She's gotta find out for herself
She's gotta find out for herself
One day love's gonna burn ya' like a barn caught on fire
The tragedy is you'll never see what'll happen over time
Well you're gonna find out for yourself
You're gonna find out for yourself
On closer look love is not enough
You plant the seed but the rain don't cease, now the plow is stuck in the mud
We had to find out for ourselves
We all gotta find out for ourselves
