You're as hard to hold as quicksilver when you kiss and run away I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver all my dreams are led astray I keep chasing you till I'm facing you and embracing you with all your charms Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver right into someone else's arms Seems like I am having trouble with you and I don't know what I'm gonna do Seems like you're fickle, fickle as can be and your fickle ways have got me up a tree You're as hard to hold as quicksilver when you kiss and run away I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver all my dreams are led astray I keep chasing you till I'm facing you and embracing you with all your charms Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver right into someone else's arms Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver right into someone else's arms
