I Go to Extremes (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - December 31, 1999) - 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 in-betweens

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 in-betweens

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

Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens

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

Oh I don't know why

I don't know why

Hey I don't know why

Oh I don't know why
