Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up lyrics

rate me

I work on the front line I work to survive 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 Working for a reason (day in, day out) Trying too hard (he's trying too hard) Moving in circles (too hard, too hard) 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 a 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 You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never wanna 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 hard, too hard) If this love never dies (love never dies) I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy) 'Cause it's better this way when 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 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 Chorus x 2
