Wanna keep you from breakin
wanna keep you from shakin
wanna keep you from keepin
you down
Wanna keep you from sinkin
wanna keep you from drinkin
sometimes
Wanna keep you from keepin
you down
Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
but theres only one way to go
and im goin alone
Im goin alone
your self-help book shelf is full now
your pictures are about to be pulled down
without regard for a broken heart
its another year
ringing in my head
all the things you've said
all the things you've done
i wish i could compromise
but theres only one way to go
Wanna be with you tonight
Wanna be with you tonight
No i know it isnt right
wanna be with you tonight
cuz i love the way that you shock-shock-shock me
follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
wanna see your eyes wide not so shut
completely cool dont stop keep up
livin in the city, cuz your dyin if you dont
got a grip take a sip from my monoton monk
wanna keep you from keepin you down
pick yourself up off the ground
wanna keep you from keepin you down
come on girl
ringing in my head
all the things you've said
all the things you've done
I wish i could compromise
I wish i could close my eyes
and somehow make it
all alright
but i know thers only one way to go
Miss the way that you shock-shock-shock me
follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
wanna see your eyes wide not so shut
completely cool dont stop keep up
livin in the city, cuz your dyin if you dont
got a grip take a sip from my monoton monk
wanna keep you from keepin you down
pick yourself up off the ground
