Because

Because the world is round
It turns me on
Because the world is round

Because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the wind is high


Love is old, love is new
Love is old, love is new


Because the sky is blue
You know it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue


Because the world is
Because the world is
Round

I don't want to remember
How you became my ball and chain
Touched me with a burning ember
I'm a prisoner of your pleasure and pain

Every time that i try to escape you
The passion pulls me back inside
It's a crime every time that i hold you
You dropped me with your heart and i'm stopped before i start


Chorus:
Baby i'm caught, i'm captured
You locked me up and tied me down
Baby i'm caught in the rapture
You hold the only key
But please don't set me free


Try my best to forget you
And i know you'll never say goodbye
Still i bet that if i left you
I would be the only one to cry


Every time that i try to escape you
The passion takes away my pride
It's a crime every time i try to leave you
You dropped me with your heart and i'm stopped before i start


Chorus


Save me, i'm a slave because of your love, baby
You never told me that this is what you were thinking of


Chorus

Thinking back over my years i guess i shedded some tears
Told myself time and time again 'this time i'm gonna win'
But in every fight things ain't right, losin' again
Takes a fool to lose twice, start all over again

Chorus:
Think i'd better let it go
Looks like another love tko
Think i'd better let it go
Looks like another love tko


Tried to take control of love, love took control of me
'cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things* of a two-time loser
Try to hold on, faith is gone, it's just another sad song


Chorus


Think it's time to let it go
Feels like another love tko
Think it's time to let it go
Feels like another love tko


Tried to take control of the love, love took control of me
'cause you lose all thought, sense of time and have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps and the bruises of all the things* of a two-time loser
Try to hold on, the faith is gone, it's just another sad song


Think i'd better let it go
Tko
Think i'd better let it go
Tko


Think it's time to let it go
Feels like another love tko
Think it's time to let it go
Feels like another love tko

Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, i'm waiting in line
Nobody get too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb

You and me girl
We got a lot of love in store
And it flows through me
And it flows through you
And i love you so much more
Than my life
I can see beyond forever
Everything we are will never die
Love is such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world like a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away


Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, i'm waiting in line
Nobody get too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain, and harder to climb


You and me girl, we got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears we had to cry
You're my life
I can see a new tomorrow
Everything we are will never die
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
There for all to see, our precious love


Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's as high as a mountain, and harder to climb
Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world like a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away


Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by, i'm waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain and harder to climb
(repeat)

Fortunately you
Have got someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady


Time i'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When you're gambling cards on love you pay
I'd rather be in hell with you baby
Than in cool heaven
It seems to be the way


Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady


Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is done
But oh, the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain


All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the earth rotates to our dictates
Slowly we make love


Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
(repeat)

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since
It's been a long, long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will

It's been too hard livin'
But i'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will


I go to the movie
And i go downtown
Somebody's tellin' me
Don't you hang around
It's been a long, long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will


Then i go to my brother
I say brother, brother help me please
But he just winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees, well


There were times that i thought
I couldn't make it alone
But now i'm able, i'm able
To carry on
It's been a long, a long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
Lord, it's been a long time comin'
But i know, a change is gonna come
