[Whistling] [Verse 1] I wanted love, I needed love Most of all, most of all Someone said true love was dead And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall for you Oh, what can I do? Yeah [Verse 2] Take my badge but my heart remains Lovin' you, baby child Tighten up on your reins You are runnin' wild, runnin' wild, it's true [Verse 3] Sick for days in so many ways I'm achin' now, I'm achin' now It's times like these I need relief Please show me how, oh show me how to get right Yeah, it's out of sight [Verse 4] When I was young and movin' fast Nothin' slowed me down, oh, slowed me down Now I let the others pass, I've come around Oh come around, 'cause I've found [Outro / Bridge] Livin' just to keep goin' Goin' just to be sane All the while not knowin' It's such a shame I don't need to get steady I know just how I feel I'm tellin' you to be ready My dear
