Am
I believe, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up, yeah
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile to get outta my head

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Get your life! Give a damn!
You gotta make a move to show
'em where we can stand, yeah

We all weep, bleed the same
If you get the picture,

In the now, take a chance
Make a mess, and don't forget that life is a dance

Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and baby don't you give up
Get your life! Give a damn!
You gotta make a move to show
'em where we can stand, yeah

Ooh babe, show me baby, baby tell me that's me, yeah
I got the time, it'll be all right, yeah
I got the time that you need, yeah
Come on!

Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down
Lay-lay, lay me, lay-lay, lay me down
Lay-lay, lay me down
In darkness
