Patti Labelle

It's hard to see the fear inside
As I walk away from you
And distance overcomes the miles
As slowly I pull through
And I cannot reach the world today
'cause I'm suffering from you
And the more I think, the more I cry
As I walk away from you

[Chorus:]
I'm two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive
And I'm feeling incomplete

I don't understand my life
Or the version that chose you
And the warring hearts and winter came
Now there's nothing left to do
And I cannot reach the world today
'cause I'm suffering from two
And the more I think, the more we die
As I walk away from you

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away
I'm two steps away

Two steps away
Two steps away
From loneliness
I'm awake
From the mess we made
I'm alive

Two steps away
Two steps away
Two steps away

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

Who am I foolin'?
I just wish I knew why
This hold you got on me
Won't let my heart be free
From this confusion
When will it all end?

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

I was determined
I made up my mind
Once I walked out that door
I would not have any more
Of sad delusions
But here I go again

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

Oh, I know that it's wrong
To keep holdin' on
I try to be strong
But my will is undone

When I look into your eyes
I can see past all your lies
I don't want nobody else
In spite of myself
That's sad

Only you, only you
When I'm blue
Sad but true
Never knew

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else
Move me like you do
I'm addicted to you

I try to let go
But I can't say no
It's sad but it's true
I'm addicted to you

In spite of myself
Can't nobody else

Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part

But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
Now I'll never be afraid

Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Wish I was a bird

I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
But I'm not a bird

And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am

And who I'm not
Come what may
Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes

Of the stars, my love
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not

Come what may
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may

Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
Wish I was a child

Wish I was your child
Hold me in your heart
We could love so free
And no, we'd never part

But I'm not a child
And wishes are
Just child's play, my love
Now I'll never be afraid

Of who I am
And who I'm not
Come what may
Wish I was a bird

I'd warm you in my wings
Safe from all the storms
You know true love can bring
But I'm not a bird

And wishes can
Just fly away, my love
And I'll never be afraid
Of who I am

And who I'm not
Come what may
Oh, I'm no fool
Shining in your eyes

Of the stars, my love
No, we'll never be afraid
Of who we are
And who we're not

Come what may
Of who we are
And who we're not
Come what may

Wish I was your child
Wish I was a bird
Wish I was a child

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

[Chorus]
It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wrapped around my heart
Refusing to unwind
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah

Count the stars in the southern sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops coming down

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

[Chorus]
It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wrapped around my heart
Refusing to unwind
Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah

Count the stars in the southern sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops coming down

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I've never been imprisoned by
A faded memory

[Chorus]

Tonight I'm gonna break away

I've known about you for a while now,
Then he leaves me he wears a smile no,
As soon as he's away from me,
In his arms is where you want to be,
But I'm the one he rushes home to,
I'm the one he have his name to,
You never see his face in the early morning light,
I have his morning his babies,
And I'm the only one who has his nights,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
And when he's with you he knows he needs me,
And that he wants me and he believes in me,
And when I'm in his arms oh he swears there's no one else,
If you think he'll ever leave me you're just deceiving yourself,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me,
Should I loose my temper,
Shouldn't you be ashamed,
Cause I have nothing to lose,
And you have nothing to gain,
Oh he doesn't love you like he loves me,
Though he might think of you when he's holding me,
You're just a part of his fantasies,
He'll never love you like he's been loving me.

There's no such a thing as a broken heart,
It can't be shattered, can't be torn apart,
It won't start bleeding when love seems gone,
It just keeps beating on and on and on and on,
Someday this hurt that I feel will pass,
These tears I cry over you won't last,
I know my dreams won't really die,
And there's life for me so much life when I,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessing,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I'll move out of the darkness,
And make my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some,
Brand new chance to overcome,
One by one I learn, don't block the blessings,
See all the love that still surrounds my life,
Step by step I moved out of darkness,
And made my way in to the light,
There's no gain living in the past,
Wishing for yesterdays we no longer have,
Each new moment brings me some brand new chance,
I think I will overcome,
Don't block the blessings,
Don't give up what ever you do,
Don't block the blessings,
Good things will hapeen for you.

Don't let go
(Don't let go)
Don't let go
Ohh, look out

When there's something in the air
And the earth is shaking
Something inside me knows
One heart went falling
A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Seem to reflect it and I say

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

When I look into your eyes
There's a reaction
And I don't need to know what makes it happen
I know I've been in love before
But love's a magic open door
And every time somebody reaches in my heart
I can detect it
I got to reflect it, I say

I feel it in my heart, yeah
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

(rap1)
I'm lost in the sauce by a force that I can't pause
When I come across the open doors that were yours
It's uncontrollable whenever I'm holding you
With a love that I feel as good as gold with you
So may I address you with a little bit of tenderness and
Togetherness it takes to form a relationship
You know the day that these feelings began I said then
It feels like another one

A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Got to reflect it

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

(rap2)
When you feel the reaction of physical attraction
And deep in your mind it's pure satisfaction
From the need of true companionship
And once you feel it inside your soul
Oh man you get captivated, elevated, rejuvenated
Fascinated, so many feelings it's hard for me to state
Cause no one can really defy
The power of love taking over and over
Comfort one another, lover to lover
No matter how you avoid it
It's still gonna uncover
When you can't detect it or reflect it
Don't try to neglect it
You gotta respect it

When there's something in the air
And the earth is shaking
Something inside me knows
One heart went falling
A premonition in my bones
I can sense it, there it goes
Something about two lovers that changes the world
I can detect it
Seem to reflect it and I say

I feel it in my heart, well
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

When I look into your eyes
There's a reaction
And I don't need to know what makes it happen
I know I've been in love before
But love's a magic open door
And every time somebody reaches in my heart
I can detect it
I got to reflect it, I say

I feel it in my heart, yeah
Feels like another one
It gets me in my soul now
It feels like another one

Don't try to neglect it

Here you come, walking my way
So much inside me
I wanna say, I've been holding on
For the longest, longest time

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I can't live without you
The nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

And I finally got the nerve
I found the words to say, I've got the nerve
Can't wait another day, I've got the nerve
Don't wanna lose it this time

I'm trying to make
Tryin' to make a connection
But I'm afraid that there might be rejection on your part
It would break my heart in a million pieces

Can't go through it
(Through it)
Another day
I gotta let you know, I feel this way about you, baby
I dream about you in my life

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I can't live without you, the nerve
I got the nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

When you walk by, my heart skips a beat
I contemplate the thought of you and me
I get weak for you
I can't get you off of my mind

I know I got to
(Got to)
Got to keep it real
'Cause you know how, you know how I feel
I'm wanting you and I'm needing you every day

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I've got the nerve, the nerve
I've got the nerve to tell you what's been on my mind for a lifetime

And I finally got the nerve
To tell you how I feel about you, the nerve
I can't wait another day, I got the nerve
Don't wanna lose it, don't wanna lose it this time

Find me, you can always find me,
Lovin' you so kindly, your life is like candlelight,
And darlin' no one told us,
No one every told us,
What this love could hold for us,
Maybe we were meant to find it, faithfully,
There is always a sun that's rising,
When I know in your heart you're there for me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
Know you, no one knows like I do,
There's one thing I'm sure is true,
That we were meant to share our whole lives through,
There is always a sun that's rising,
When I know your heart you're there for me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
There is always a star that's shining,
Whether you're far away or near to me,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on,
There is always a star that's shining,
And from now on,
Your flame just keeps me burnin' on.

Find me, you can always find me,

I like the sound of funky music
Let me hear you sing it (I like the sound of funky music)

'Cause funky music sho nuff turns me on
I like the sound of funky music

Bless my soul, I can't control
The feeling I get when I hear the funky music

'Cause funky music sho nuff turn me on

Music's got my soul on fire
I can feel the blood boiling in my veins
People I get a feeling deep down inside
Something like a rollercoaster ride
And I ain't ashamed to say that I feel alright

Funky now

Come on come on come on people and express yourself

Don't it make you feel alright
All you crazy people from the big city
Get on down to the nitty gritty

I like the sound of funky music
Everybody sing it with me (I like the sound of funky music)
'Cause funky music sho nuff turn me on

Boom boom boom
Like a river turns me
Boom boom boom

I sure don't mind givin you good lovin' baby

He's out of my life
He's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think the two years he was here
And I took him for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
He's out of my hands

So I've learned that loves not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

And he's out of my life
He's out of my life
Damned in decision and cursed pride
I kept my love for him locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life

Does my discomfort
Comfort you
Do you believe that joy
Is too much to hope for
Can you see?
Our existence could be so much more
Create yours
And all I ask is
Just a little respect from you
Do you even know who I am

[Chorus]
Do you hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you

You shaped my passion
But shame my name
Your fear is to listen
And to recognize my pain
You block my journey
You mock my tears
Tell me why
I spoke for us, for we
But now there's just silence

[Chorus]

For a brighter day
I hope to see you again
For a brighter day
I'm hoping we can still be friends
For a brighter day
I wish we could fly away
Together baby you and I
Can't you hear my cry,
My cry, my cry

[Chorus]

I don't go shopping for love
You're something money can't buy

I dream in colors, and my dreams are only shades of you
So I'm
Never [Repeat: x13]
Blue

I don't go wishing on stars
I just want to be where you are
Too many times it felt so right,
But it was just the night
Now I see the light

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found out what it's all about
Hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I'm never out after dark
You'll always find me, here at home
And if you decide to stay up late
Hey baby don't you hesitate
Oh, I can't hardly wait

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found what it's all about
Your gonna hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I said we're
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue

I don't go shopping no more
What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

I don't go shopping for love
You're something money can't buy

I dream in colors, and my dreams are only shades of you
So I'm
Never [Repeat: x13]
Blue

I don't go wishing on stars
I just want to be where you are
Too many times it felt so right,
But it was just the night
Now I see the light

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found out what it's all about
Hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I'm never out after dark
You'll always find me, here at home
And if you decide to stay up late
Hey baby don't you hesitate
Oh, I can't hardly wait

I don't care nothing 'bout going out
Now that I found what it's all about
Your gonna hear me shout
I've saved it all up for you
And if you feel like I do
Well we're long over due

I said we're
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue
What about me, what about you
Long overdue

I don't go shopping no more
What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

What about me, what about you
We're long overdue

I don't go shopping for love
You're something money can't buy

I dream in colors, and my dreams are only shades of you
So I'm
Never [Repeat: x13]

(Prince)
Out of the lonely blue

(Patti)
I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice calling in the night (can't take it baby)

I remember just like it was yesterday
I woke up baby, you were gone
I didn't even wanna tear myself up out of bed
Let alone, I didn't wanna carry on

(chorus)
'Cause I could hear your voice (I hear your voice calling in the night)
I can't stop it (stop it) no matter how hard I try
I can hear your sound, your sound (I hear your sound calling in the night)
In a word, I feel like I wanna die

I started looking, lookin' from dusk 'til dawn
For ways that I wouldn't miss you so much
I even bought a new dress (new dress)
But when I put it on
I could still (still) still (still) feel your touch (feel your touch)

And I could hear your voice (I hear your voice calling in the night)
I can't stop it (stop it) no matter how hard I try
I can hear your sound, your sound, your sound(I hear your sound calling in the night)
In a word, I feel like I wanna die (feel like I wanna die)

My friends tell me' They say Patti find a new love
A bird in hand beats two in the bush
What my friends don't know, and I ain't about to tell them
Is that you're the only one, you're the only one that knows what buttons to push

Oh oh it don't take no scientist to tell you what's wrong with me
No no no it don't take good vision to see what any fool could see
That I just need your body, I just need your fa fa fa fa face
Right where it counts, no not in another place
I'm talkin' about all up hey, & all down

Your every inch, you see I don't need ya cross town
You better read my lips, I need you here with me
I can't stop it, no matter how I try
In a word, I feel like I wanna die'.
( I hear your voice)

I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice
I' I hear your voice calling in the night

I hear your voice (fades out)

I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so real,
I like the way it feels, feels, feels, because you keep it real, so real,
You rarely stay out late and if you do you call me up (oh baby),
I never worry about you in someone else's arms making love (oh no),
There ain't no pressure when you know that I'm not in the mood cause 365...
Boy I'll give my everything to you,
I like that way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so real,
Women do complain they can't find a man to satisfy heir needs (oh no)
Someone sensitive, willingness to give and able to please and...
I like the way it feels, feels, feels because you keep it real, so real,
I like the way it feels, feels ,feels because you keep it real, so real.

Repeat chorus

I'm in love again, this time I mean it, in love again, so in love again, what lies between us is dicovering. This time it's forreal. I know I have said these words before. And if you're keeping score, that makes four, and the count down goes on. But this time, I sware the night is cast, I make it last for ever more, Of that I'm sure. I'm in love again, this time I mean it in love again. So in love again, what lies between us is discovering. This time it's forreal. I refuse to dwell upon the past, cause time was much to fast, take the chance. What if you run away. But I was sure. This love was meant to be. For you and me eternally, so heavenly. I'm in love again, this time I mean it, in love again, so in love again, what lies between us is discovring. This time it's forreal. It was love. I need you without a chance. Should I speak of romance, take a chance. In a twinkling it's gone. When it's come, I want it said of me, I tried to be, the best i could, I always should. I'm in love again yeah this time I mean it in love again. So in love, love again. What lies between us is discovering. I, I'm , I'm, I'm, in love I am. So, so, so, so, in love with you I am. Mmmmmm. You know you know it. You know you know it. I'm in love it's true. So in love with you. Ohh baby I can feel it in my bones. Now that i've got you I won't never be alone. Mmmmm. Said I'm in love, said i'm in love. So in ,love with you. Ohh

If by chance we meet again
If by chance we meet again

I wanna see you
Yes, I do

If by chance we meet again
I'll be sure to say I love you
If by chance I see your face
I'll be dazzled by the magic in your eyes

They look so sweet, yes, they do
If by chance we should happen to meet
I'll run into your arms so safe and warm
By your side I'll stand if by chance we meet again

If by chance we meet again
(If by chance we meet again)
If by chance we meet again
If by chance we meet again

Oh and if by chance I talk to you
I wonder if the words would come out right
If by chance I held you close
I could drift away with the warmth of your embrace

You were so sweet
If by chance we should happen to meet
We'll start all over, over again, me and my best friend
A whole new life we'll plan if by chance we shall meet again

If by chance we meet again
(We'll meet again)
If by chance we meet again

Sometimes I wonder why you had to go and leave me here
Standing in the cold and all alone
As the tears begin to fall I will remain standing tall
And the memories I will cherish forever more

If by chance we meet again
(If by chance this is our last time
I see you on the other side, yes)

If by chance we meet again
(And if by chance I have to cry)
If by chance, if by chance
(I'm telling you babe, I'm telling you baby)

If by chance we meet again
(It's because I know its time for us to say goodbye)
If by chance we meet again
(I know it's, I know it's time, I know it's time)

I'm running, said I'm running yes, I am
I'm running to say goodbye

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right

(Chorus:)
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus)

No, you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus until fade)

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right

If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believe in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin'
I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you...

Ask me to and I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
All you gotta do is ask me to...

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believe in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to

Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling, darlin', since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home

I said I needed, needed to be free

But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to

And stay here in your arms forever
If you...

Ask me to and I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby
For you baby

If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
All you gotta do is ask me to...

[Chorus]
It's time to tell him how you feel
Baby stop playin' around, gonna miss out on what's real
It's time to show him you're for real
If you won't someone else will yeah

You're a woman now, and it's time for you
Time you grow up and learn your way
Make this house a home, and make sure he knows
You're the one he can count on

[Chorus]

Now that you've settle down, how could you wear a frown
Knowing that he is the one
His love has been so good, it's time you understood
That he'll never let you down

[Chorus: x2]

[Bridge]
Has there ever been a time, you let him slip away
You didn't know what you had, now you wish he would have stayed
Girlfriend it's time to grow and learn what it takes
To hold on to the real thing

[Chorus: x2]

All the wrong things to be said, we've said 'em.
We let anger guide the way.
I say you're at fault; you say i'm selfish.
Now the accusations must be paid with the strain of
Losing you, pain
Of feeling blue.
You're hurt and i'm lost,
Tell me what are we gonna do?
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can be happy once again.
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can make sunshine from the rain.
Without you, my life has no music
Rhyme and rhythm cease to be.
Close friends tell me that you're acting heartsick,
Is it all because you're missing me?
The pain is clouding your eyes
Pain too deep to disguise
You're blue, baby i am too.
Tell me, tell me, tell me what are we gonna do?
Please come back and kiss away the pain;
We can be happy once again.
Please come back and kiss away the pain;

We can make sunshine from the rain.
Please come back baby, please come back baby, kiss it
Away.
We don't even have to explain,
Please come back and kiss away my pain.
Lost love is such a shame.
Your kiss is guaranteed to take all the pain,
Take all the pain, take all the pain away from me.
Please come kiss away the pain

Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister (x2)

Seeing her skin feeling silky smooth
Colour of cafe au lait

Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep More, More, More

Let 'em know we 'bout that cake, straight out the gate
We independent women, some mistake us for whores
I'm saying, why spend mine when I can spend yours
Disagree, well that's you and I'm sorry
I'ma keep playing these cats out like Atari
Wear high heel! ed shoes, get love from the Jews
Four bad ass chicks from the Moulin Rouge

By the case, the meaning of expensive taste

Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth, oh
Color of cafe au lait, alright
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until he cried
More, more, more
Now he's back home doing nine to five (nine to fiv! e)
Living a gray flannel life

But when he turns off to sleep, memories keep
More, more, more

Oh la ohh
Lady Marmalade
Hey, uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Rottweiler baby
Moulin Rouge
Ooh

Misdemeanor here

Creole Lady Marmalade, ooh yeah

I got a mirror, a bottle and a pen
The mirror is cracked
The bottle is empty
And my pen don't know where to begin

I've got a picture, a letter, and a song
The picture is torn
The letter is worn
And my tune has been sung before

Another show is over
And the lights have gone down
There's no flowers at my door
No, no callers come around, baby

But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living
Oh, I can't believe that I survived
And I'm in the land of the living
Can't believe that I survived

I saw the city, the lights and the music
The city is hard
The lights they have lied
The music just seems to have died

And I had my hope
I had my faith
Oh, my pride, yeah
And to hope I cling
To faith I am blind
And my pride I have left far behind

Another show is over
And the lights have gone down
There's no flowers at my door
Ain't no callers come around babe

But I'm glad to be alive and in the land of the living, babe
I can't believe that I survived
Still in the land of the living, baby
Can't believe that I'm alive

Still in the land of the living, baby
Can't believe that I survived
Oh no, I'm still in the land of the living
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

You see another night is over
And the curtain's come down
I see no flowers at my door
Oh, no one's comin' 'round, yeah
But I'm glad to be alive
Still in the land of the living
Bet you can't believe I survived
Still alive in the land of the living

Oh babe, I'm still alive
In the land of the living
I bet you, bet you can't believe

We stood on an island of our own,
From the moment we first met,
And we will forever,
So seldom found&nbsp;; A privilege to hold,
Like a precious stone,
That I will always treasure,
In my mind I picture you,
And thought you're far away,
It's like you're right here with me everyday,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can trun to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there,
You think you've got a friend and then you see,
When your eyes are closed,
They're out to deceive,
No need to wonder when it comes to me,
By now, You should know,
I'm the one you can believe,
In this game of life we play,
You can't always win,
And when you look for refuge,
Take my hand,
Let me be there for you,
Let me be there for you,
Whenever you need a friend,
Please think of me,
No matter what you go through,
There's someone you can turn to,
Whenever you need a friend who cares,
Let me be there.
