You Take Me Up
|
I work on the front line
|
I work to survive
|
And I sleep in a fever
|
So this is my life
|
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
|
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
|
I know what it means to work hard on machines
|
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
|
Looking for reasons (day in, day out)
|
Trying too hard (he's trying too hard)
|
Moving in circles (too hot, too hot)
|
Don't get very far (don't get very far)
|
Should I ask you to dance? (dance boy, dance boy)
|
If I promise romance would you come for the ride?
|
I know what it means to work hard on machines
|
Do you believe in love, one that lasts for all time?
|
|
(chorus)
|
You take me up, oh hoh,
|
You take me up to the higher ground
|
You take me up so high
|
Now I never want to come back down
|
|
I'm glad in these hard times (day in, day out)
|
There's hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes)
|
I don't need a religion (too hot, too hot)
|
Cause this love never dies (love never dies)
|
I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy)
|
It's better that way and you work through the night
|
I know what it means to work hard on machines
|
It's a labour of love, so please don't ask me why
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy)
|
It just makes me weep when I try, how I try
|
I know what it means to work hard on machines
|
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
