I'm talking, I'm talking
|
I believe in the power of love
|
I'm singing, I'm singing
|
I believe that you can rescue me
|
|
With you I'm not a little girl, with you I'm not a man
|
When all the hurt inside of me comes out, you understand
|
You see that I'm ferocious, you see that I am weak
|
You see that I am silly, and pretentious and a freak
|
|
But I don't feel too strange for you
|
Don't know exactly what you do
|
I think when love is pure you try
|
To understand the reasons why
|
And I prefer this mystery
|
It cancels out my misery
|
And gives me hope that there could be
|
A person that loves me
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Rescue me [rescue me, it's hard to believe]
|
Your love has given me hope
|
Rescue me [rescue me, it's hard to believe]
|
I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope
|
|
With you I'm not a fascist, can't play you like a toy
|
And when I need to dominate, you're not my little boy
|
You see that I am hungry for a life of understanding
|
And you forgive my angry little heart when she's demanding
|
You bring me to my knees while I'm scratching out the eyes
|
Of a world I want to conquer, and deliver, and despise
|
And right while I am kneeling there
|
I suddenly begin to care
|
And understand that there could be
|
A person that loves me
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Love is understanding
|
It's hard to believe life can be so demanding
|
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
|
Stop me from drowning baby I'll do the rest
|
|
Rescue me (echo)
|
Your love has given me hope [your love has given me hope]
|
Rescue me (echo)
|
I'm drowning, baby throw out your rope [baby throw out your rope]
|
(repeat)
|
|
Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding
|
Ooh ahh, ooh ahh, love is understanding
|
|
Love is understanding
|
It's hard to believe life can be so demanding
|
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
|
Rescue me, rescue me
|
|
It's not my business to decide
|
How good you are for me
|
How valuable you are
|
And what the world can see
|
Only that you try to understand me
|
And have the courage to love me for me
|
|
(Background vocals, continuously for remainder of song:)
|
[I believe in the power, I believe you can rescue me]
|
|
I believe [I believe in the power]
|
I believe that you can rescue me
|
(repeat)
|
|
I'm singing I believe
|
I believe that you can rescue me
|
I'm singing, I'm singing, I'm singing
|
I believe that you can rescue me
|
|
I'm talking, I'm talking
|
I believe in the power of love
|
(repeat)
|
|
I'm singing, I'm singing, I believe
|
I believe that you can rescue me
|
|
Hey hey, hey hey
|
R.E.S.C.U.E. me
|
Only you can rescue me
|
Hey hey, hey...
|
[I believe you can rescue me]
|
[I believe in the power]
|
[I believe you can rescue me]
