Pat Benatar : Don't Walk Away
Lyrics
1. DON'T WALK AWAY
Standin' in the doorway, forgot to say one thing
You've always had the power to lift my wings
I know I shouldn't need so much, an' we could say goodbye
Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flyin' high
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Love is what brought you here
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Somethin' brings us together, keeps tearin' us apart
The wounded are much wiser,
We'll just take it from the start
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Love is what brought you here
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Love is what brought you here
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Don't walk away
Don't walk away!
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Oh, Don't walk away, Don't walk away
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, turn around, you won't be,
You won't be alone
2. LIFT'EM ON UP
Lately I been wastin' this hard, hard life
Seems like nothin' ever turns out right
The day's too short, the nights too long
Meet you in the middle if it turns out wrong
Johnny got a job but it ain't no good
Nickels and dimes you know he never could
Seem to make it clean, I'm tellin' you
When the devil got your soul
There ain't much you can do
Now he prays for a light in the dark
To lift 'em on up (lift 'em on up)
An' he swears with his hand on his heart
To lift 'em on up (lift 'em on up)
You can tear the night down
And turn it inside out
Johnny looks around but all he sees
Is a tired old city livin' on its knees
Blue jean faces, fadin' fast
Backs are breaking but the hard times last
Now he prays for a light in the dark
To lift 'em on up (lift 'em on up)
An' he swears with his hand on his heart
To lift 'em on up (lift 'em on up)
You can tear the night down
And turn it inside out
You can tear the night down
Yesterdays....Johnny (Johnny, Johnny)
Johnny and me used to have a dream
If ya ran real fast, it'd set you free
So we kept on running, but our legs got tired
And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died - hey
To lift 'em on up, lift 'em on up
Now he prays for a light in the dark
To lift 'em on up (lift 'em on up)
An' he swears with his hand on his heart
To lift 'em on up (lift 'em on up)
You can tear the night down, you can tear the night down
You can tear the night down and turn it inside out
To lift 'em on up, lift 'em on up,
Lift 'em on up, lift 'em on up
Standin' in the doorway, forgot to say one thing
You've always had the power to lift my wings
I know I shouldn't need so much, an' we could say goodbye
Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flyin' high
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Love is what brought you here
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Somethin' brings us together, keeps tearin' us apart
The wounded are much wiser,
We'll just take it from the start
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Love is what brought you here
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
We can start over, darlin' it's clear
Love is what brought you here
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Don't walk away
Don't walk away!
Oh, to see if I follow
Don't walk away, victory's hollow
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, you won't be alone
Don't walk away
Oh, to see if I follow
Oh, Don't walk away, Don't walk away
Been that road, it didn't take us home
Turn around, turn around, you won't be,
You won't be alone
