Lyrics
If You Want It
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.
One by one the walls come down
Spread the word all over town
Kicking screaming like I'll drown
Can't you see I'm fallin
I want you, do you want me
What's it take to make you see
Like bomb that ticking endlessly
Can't you hear me calling
Will you, won't you, come with me
Wishin hoping that you'll see.
If you want it, it will come
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
Give me all you've got to give
Live the life you want to live
No point thinking about "what if?"
Come on. Make my day
Tell me what I need to know
If you don't want this then I'll go
Insane but I won't let it show
Don't let me walk away
Will you, won't you, come with me
Wishing hoping that you'll see.
If you want it, it will come
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
If I could make you start to understand
If I could only make you see
What this all means to me
Let it in inside your heart
Set your mind and spirit free
Show me
If you want it, it will come,
Through the rain and burning sun
Over hills and far away
Nothing stops this, not today
Take a chance on me tonight
Baby it'll be alright
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing lost but all the tears and pain
Repeat
