MEAT LOAF - For Crying Out Loud lyrics

rate me

I was lost till you were found<br>But I never knew how far down<br>I was falling<br>Before I reached the bottom<br>I was cold and you were fire<br>And I never knew how the pyre<br>Could be burning<br>On the edge of the ice field<br><br>And the now chilly california wind<br>Is blowing down our bodies again<br>And we're sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly california sand<br>Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart<br>And can't you see my faded levis bursting apart<br>And don't you hear me crying:<br>Oh babe, don't go<br>And don't you hear me screaming:<br>How was I to know? <br><br>I'm in the middle of nowhere<br>Near the end of the line<br>But there's a border to somewhere waiting<br>And there's a tankful of time<br>Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day<br>And take me to another land where I don't have to stay<br><br>And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do<br>And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,<br>Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through<br><br>For crying out loud<br>You know I love you<br>For crying out loud<br>You know I love you<br>For crying out loud<br>You know I love you<br><br>I was damned and you were saved<br>And I never knew how enslaved<br>I was kneeling<br>In the chains of my master<br><br>I could laugh but you could cry<br>And I never knew just how high<br>I was flying<br>Ah, with you right above me<br><br>I'm in the middle of nowhere<br>Near the end of the line<br>But there's a border to somewhere waiting<br>And there's a tankful of time<br>Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day<br>And take me to another land where I don't have to stay<br><br>And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do<br>And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,<br>Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through<br><br>For crying out loud<br>You know I love you<br>For crying out loud<br>You know I love your<br>For crying out loud<br>You know I love you<br><br>For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry<br>For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why<br>And my oh my<br>For that I thank you<br><br>For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold<br>For giving me a child when my body is old<br>And don't you know<br>For that I need you<br><br>For coming to my room when you know I'm alone<br>For finding me a highway and driving me home<br>And you gotta know<br>For that I serve you<br><br>For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall<br>For revving me up when I'm starting to stall<br>And all in all<br>For that I want you<br><br>For taking and for giving and for playing the game<br>For praying for my future in the days that remain<br>Oh lord<br>For that I hold you<br><br>Ah but most of all<br>For cryin' out loud<br>For that I love you<br><br>Ah but most of all<br>For cryin' out loud<br>For that I love you<br><br>Ah but most of all<br>For cryin' out loud<br>For that I love you<br><br>When you're crying out loud<br>You know I love you
