Last night, lights out, couldn't write a word down,
calling you to dance with, dressing out explosive,
looking for the cool stuff, hoping just a little,
thinking I was real nice.
Touching up with real tough, facing up the rough heart,
not enough, but alright, magic up for true love,
too much headaches, tired of, heart is weak,
I'm crying out.
I wish there was another way, I wish I that could find it for you.
Mama promised better days, there's so much to hang on to, she said.
But look at me, I'm falling free, and all my dreams won't let me,
If I could only hold you closer to me…
Boy I thought you liked me, saying stuff like touch me,
hiding out and coming back, feeling good, I'm feeling bad,
going on a venture, looking for the treasure,
the city is our nature.
Making love on bridges, shunning iron fringes,
angels passing by us, acting very pious,
don't look back in anger, live forever after,
love is not the answer on our streets.
I wish there was another way, I wish I that could find it for you.
Mama promised better days, there's so much to hang on to, she said.
But look at me, I'm falling free, and all my dreams won't let me,
If I could only hold you closer to me…
