I'm tired of bein' untouchable
I'm not above the love
I'm part of you, and you're part of me
Why did you go away?
Findin' what you're lookin'
for can end up bein', bein' such a bore
I pray for you, most every day
My love's with you, now fly away

Chorus

If you see me gettin' mighty,
if you see me gettin' high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
If you see me gettin' mighty,
if you see me gettin' high (Ooh)
Knock me down (Knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life
If you see me gettin' mighty,
if you see me gettin' high
(Knock me, knock me, knock me)
Knock me down (Knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life
If you see me gettin' mighty,
if you see me gettin' high
(Knock me, knock me, knock me)
Knock me down (Knock me down)
I'm not bigger than life
If you see me gettin' mighty,
if you see me gettin' high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
If you see me gettin' mighty,
if you see me gettin' high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
(Aah-aah, oh, oh, oh, hey, yeah)
It's so lonely
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
(Oh, oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh, yeah)
It's so lonely
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
