Lyrics
This
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Attention high and conviction strong
You've got that sashay groove like a Marvin Gaye song
Yeah, my piston's fire, and your engine roars
It's a tight turn baby that can't be ignored
I got to go, got to go where this song leads
I got to go, got to go where this heart bleeds
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you in a moment like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I want you like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
Those crazy words mixed with truth and lies
You're a camouflaged trouble right before my eyes
I see angels in bloom, you see devils in sight
It's a new world order that could serve us tonight
I got to go, got to go where this song leads
I got to go, got to go where this heart bleeds
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you in a moment like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I want you like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
It's hard to settle in when your moving round, boy
Yea what lifts you up, may bring you down (down)
Down (down)
Down
I got to go, got to go where this song leads
I got to go, got to go where this heart bleeds
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you in a moment like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I want you like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
How am I gonna leave you when I love you like this?
