Renata

Renata, you have put me down
Like a toy you no longer need around
Renata, you have told me 'no'
Like a coin that's tossed, I don't know where to go
Am I a fool for hangin' on for you, renata, like I do?
Am I a fool for hangin' around? Make up your mind. I'll be here when you do
Face into the truth, when you put your back into it, it's gonna startle you
Face into the truth, what you're putting out is coming back to you
Renata, will I understand?
I might not have what it takes to be your man
Renata, one day you will see
The simple joy just being around you brought me
Am I a fool for stickin' 'round for you?
Renata, like I do
Am I a fool for hangin' on, make up your mind?
I'll be here when you
Face into the truth, put your back into it, it looks good on you
Face into the truth, what you're putting out, it's gonna startle you
Startle you, oh
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la lo
Oh
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la lo
Face into the truth, will you think about it, what else would you do?
Face into the truth, it's not about giving up, it's about me and you
Me and you
Oh
Face into the truth, what you're putting out, it's gonna startle you
Startle you. Oh
Face into the truth, put your back into it, it looks good on you
Good on you. Oh
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la lo
Yeah
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
