Meat Loaf - For Crying Out Loud lyrics
I was lost till you were found
But I never knew how far down
I was falling
Before I reached the bottom
I was cold and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning
On the edge of the ice field
And now the chilly Californian wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we`re sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly Californian sand
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can`t you see my faded Levis bursting apart
And don`t you here me crying
`Oh Babe, don`t go`
And don`t you hear me screaming
`How was I to know`
I`m in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there`s a border to somewhere waiting
And there`s a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land
Where I don`t have to stay
And I`m gonna need somebody
To make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody
With open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet
That I love shine through
For crying out loud
You know I love you
I was damned and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling
In the chains of my master
I could laugh but you could cry
And I never knew just how high
I was flying
Ah with you right above me
And now the chilly Californian wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we`re sinking deeper and deeper
In the chilly Californian sand
Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
And can`t you see my faded Levis bursting apart
And don`t you here me crying
`Oh Babe, don`t go`
And don`t you hear me screaming
`How was I to know`
I`m in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there`s a border to somewhere waiting
And there`s a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land
Where I don`t have to stay
And I`m gonna need somebody
To make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody
With open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet
That I love shine through
For crying out loud
You know I love you
For taking in the rain when I`m feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I`m asking you why
My oh my, for that I thank you
For taking in the sun when I`m feeling so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
Don`t you know for that I need you
For coming to my room when you know I`m alone
For finding me a highway and for driving me home
For that I serve you
For pulling me away when I`m starting to fall
For revving me up when I`m starting to stall
And all in all for that I want you
For taking and for giving and for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh Lord for that I hold you
Ah but most of all
For crying out loud
For that I love you
When you`re crying out loud
You know I love you
