don't cry
the Mudsharks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, it's taken sometime but I believe
That right now child I want you bad
Can you feel it's the way it should be
Now you've nowhere to hide away from me
And right now child you drive me mad
Midnight, taken a tumble
This time I feel the thunder
Lying in the middle of the love we've found
You could be the air that I breathe
I believe if we don't try don't cry
You can give me all that I need
Can you see if we won't try don't cry
Turn me round baby, take me down deep
Got that look in your eyes and I can see
That right now child no love is blind
Hold me close, babe, love is so real
I could never disguise the way I feel
And right now child you blow my mind
Midnight, taking me under
Inside. There'll be no losing ground
This time, passion and wonder
Fighting just a little as you hold me down
You could be the air that I breathe
I believe if we don't try don't cry
You can give me all that I need
Can you see if we won't try don't cry
We can swim desire-like seas
Diving in if we don't try don't cry
Nothing dims this amber light scene
Take it in if we don't try don't cry
