Back Against The Wall

the world and his wife

know it's a compromise

there are good times

and bad times in your life

thought I knew it all

thought I'd take my chance

to leave home

but things went not as well

as I thought they would

and soon my life

became a living hell

I wanted it to end

thought I'd take my chance

to let go

some say yes

some say no

I had my back against the wall

no-one I could call

then you came into my life

boy, you made me feel alive

we'd been talking all night long

you showed me what went wrong

and much to my surprise

you killed my alibis

when I had my back against the wall

day after day

there's a storm of problems coming after me

then I know it's hard to see

there's another way

guess I never opened up my heart

but now I'm ready for a new start

I had my back against the wall

no-one I could call

then you came into my life

boy, you made me feel alive

we'd been talking all night long

you showed me what went wrong

and much to my surprise

you killed my alibis

when I had my back against the wall

life is not that hard

when you find someone to show you the way

listen to your heart

a little love goes a long way

to chase the blues away
