Lyrics
Sally Ride
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.
You say it kills me
You say it makes me different
But I can still see
A little more feeling in it
It picks me up
It puts me down
My traffic is stuck
And you’re stuck uptown
Oh
Baby baby
Don’t say maybe
There’s a lot of things I need
So help me please
Oh so help me please
Don’t worry about it
There’s no more time today
And please don’t doubt it
There’s no words left to say
You pick me up
You set me down
My traffic is stuck
And you’re stuck uptown
Oh
Baby baby
Don’t say maybe
There’s a lot of things I need
So help me please
Oh so help me please
Baby baby
Don’t you hate me
There’s things that I can’t see
Don’t make me bleed
Oh don’t make me bleed
The only time I feel alright is with you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
For you
Your words are hung up in my mind
And it’s true
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Oh
Baby baby
Don’t say maybe
There’s a lot of things I need
So help me please
So help me please
Baby baby
Don’t you hate me
There’s things that I can’t see
Don’t make me bleed
Oh no don’t make me bleed
