Lyrics
Well I know, if I’d arrived in time to know you
You’d have taken the time to show me
I wouldn’t be lonelyWhere will I go, who will I have to lie beside me
Is it something that’s inside me
I’m so lonelyTried so hard each time, each time I just can’t make it
Feelin’ fast vibrations and I just can’t take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream
I’m, I’m leavinLa la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la laTried so hard each time, each time I just can’t make it
Feelin’ fast vibrations and I just can’t take it
Living from day to day, chasing the dream
I’m, I’m leavin
