want to keep you from breakin
want to keep you from shakin
want to keep you from keepin
you down
want to keep you from sinkin
want to keep you from drinkin
sometimes
want to keep you from keepin
you down
Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
but there's only one way to go
and I'm goin alone
I'm goin alone
your self-help book shelf is full now
your pictures are about to be pulled down
without regard for a broken heart
its another year
ringing in my head
all the things you've said
all the things you've done
i wish i could compromise
but there's only one way to go
want to be with you tonight
want to be with you tonight
No i know it isn't right
want to be with you tonight
'cause i love the way that you shock-shock-shock me
follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
want to see your eyes wide not so shut
completely cool don't stop keep up
livin in the city, 'cause your dyin if you don't
got a grip take a sip from my monoton monk
want to keep you from keepin you down
pick yourself up off the ground
want to keep you from keepin you down
come on girl
ringing in my head
all the things you've said
all the things you've done
I wish i could compromise
I wish i could close my eyes
and somehow make it
all alright
but i know thers only one way to go
Miss the way that you shock-shock-shock me
follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
want to see your eyes wide not so shut
completely cool don't stop keep up
livin in the city, 'cause your dyin if you don't
got a grip take a sip from my monoton monk
want to keep you from keepin you down
pick yourself up off the ground
