80'S
They'll kick you, then they'll beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
__ __ __ __ __ __ __
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you __ __ __ __ __
every step of the way
It's always times like these
__ __ __ __ __
And I wonder if you ever think of me
When I think of you
You made us feel like we could fly (radio)
So don't become some background noise
__ __ __ __ __ __ __
Who just don't know, or just don't care
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Young man, when you're short on your dough you can
Stay there and I'm sure you will find
__ __ __ __ __ __ __
Many ways to have a good time
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
__ __ __ __ __ __
__ __ __ __
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
But all he can say is, "baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters __ __ __ __ __ __ __, __ __ __ __
took him to his final resting place, y'all don't hear me
The rain is falling on my windowpane
But we are hiding in a safer place
__ __, __ __ __ __
You give me feelings that I adore
Under covers, staying dry and warm
You're my savior when I fall
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
When you know down inside that I really do
And you may not think I care for you
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin' to myself, "This could be heaven or this could be hell"
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ (__ __ __ __)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
__ __ __ __ __ __
One true time I'd hold to
Love was when I loved you
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
I let you push me past the breaking point
Living alone
__ __ __ __ __ __
Wanting to hold you
This empty house seems so cold
Turn around now
__ __ __ __
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You're not welcome anymore
With no problems
Say, if I only could
__ __ __ __ __ __
And I'd get Him to swap our places
I'd be runnin' up that road
Be runnin' up that hill
I'd make a deal with God
Is killing me now
__ __ __ __ __ __
That you will be here
Don't you know I still believe
We should be dancing, romancing
In the east wing and the west wing
__ __ __, __ __?
Of this mansion, what's happening?
There are no words left to speak
__ __ __ __ __ __ __
Please let me know that it's real
But if you feel like I feel
But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
But something's buggin' me
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
__ __ __ __ __ __
I was dreaming
But I should've been with you instead
Left me sleeping in my bed
Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
__ __ __ __ __
That deep down inside of me
I want you to know
Whatever devil's inside you, don't let him out tonight
__ __ __ __ __ __ __
And everyone rolls their eyes, yeah, I know
I tell them it's just your culture
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
You know I'd never ask you to change
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
__ __ __ __ __ __ __
