|
| And what about the promises baby
|
| Where we’d be goin' and what we’d do And how about the babies
|
| You were gonna have with me When we gonna stand up and just be When we gonna stand up and be free
|
| How about those strangers over there
|
| The ones sleeping back to back in the same bed again
|
| (They're) both wishing they could be anywhere else
|
| (They're) both wishing they could start all over again yeah

|
| It’s a long long road to follow though
|
| Your heart will tell you where to go Baby, I’m still waiting and your so very far away
|
| I’m out here on my island surrounded by the sea
|
| Baby who knows where the time goes
|
| And who knows when we’ll ever be free
|
| And what about the winner
|
| The one who leaves you alone for weeks at a time
|
| Your light is growing dimmer baby
|
| And the things you need his money won’t buy
|
| And how about the lonely people
|
| I’m talking 'bout you and me When we gonna stand up and be free
|
| When we gonna stand up and just be When we gonna stand up and be free

| You and me babe
|
| Stand up and be free
