it's gonna be me

hey jack

i better shake it off

put her out of my head

thinking i balled just another young girl last night

oh brother

i left a woman in that morning bed

been on that trip so many times

good god

was it really yesterday?

i've tried so many

many

many

many

many

many ways

i've lied and taken off into the day

leaving another girl to weep over the breakfast tray

loved her before i knew her name

hit me jack

'cos i'm

gonna love her way

come back

my babe

come back

my babe

be holy again

i gave her

i gave her

maybe

maybe

maybe

gotta give her

ooh baby

baby

baby

that kind of love

can only destroy

i gave her

maybe

maybe

get it down if i'm gonna be her baby

'cos

baby

gonna be me

it's gonna be me

there was no rein to check me

when all of those little things walked on by

oh

but i couldn't really stammer out a word

when that angel stuck in my mind

looking for love won't hold me back

no

i'm gonna love her way

come back

my babe

come back

my babe

be holy again

i gave her

i gave her

maybe

maybe

maybe

gotta give her

ooh baby

that kind of love

can only destroy

i gave her

maybe

maybe

get it down if i'm gonna be her baby

'cos

baby

gonna be me

it's gonna be me

just playing that latest record

waiting for the telephone to ring

wiped out and bitter with a bag clutched in her hand

all the cars sound like they're pulling in the drive

no

no

no

i see her now a little tear running down her cheek

lost

let down

people looking for me

i want to race down her street

and knock hard

hard

hard on the door until

until she breaks down into my arms like a

treasured toy and i feel her pain

i'll be so strong

again and again

come back my baby

i'm hold you again

i'll take you

i'll take you

baby

baby

baby

baby

we're gonna have

ooh baby

baby

baby

my kind of love

can only bring you joy

i'm gonna

yeah

baby

baby

yeah

i'll give you baby

baby

baby

'cos it's gonna be me

it's gonna be me
