Again I lay awake And I cried because of waste I'd love to But only with you Only with you
Time is gonna wipe us out There, I've said it loud and clear So that you will hear There's no one in view Just you
And time will never wipe you out Now I've had enough I've had more than could be My rightful share Of nights I can't bear How can it be fair ?
Time must wipe them out So, again, I lay awake In a trance Oh, I just want my chance But only with you Only with you That's all
I'm standing in the dark With my innocent hand on my heart I've changed my plea I've changed my plea to guilty Because freedom is wasted on me See how you're all spoiled again Outside there is a pain Emotional air raids exhaust in my heart And it's safer to be inside So, I'm changing my plea And no one can dissuade me
Something I have learned If there is one thing in life I've observed It's that everybody's got somebody Oh no, not me So I've changed my plea to guilty Reason and freedom is a waste It's a lot like life.
