Rick Springfield - Living In Oz lyrics

Ever since I was a kid<br>I remember having dreams of grandeur<br>I was gonna be someone, I know what I want<br><br>Everybody played second best<br>And I held you back just like all the rest<br>I think I got what I want<br><br>Everybody's got to fight their demons<br>And you know I had to fight mine, too<br>It took a lot out of me, it took a lot out of you<br><br>To be living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can wake you<br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can shock you, too<br><br>All the money that I spend on you<br>Doesn't mean a thing if the love's not true<br>Baby please, I'll get what you want<br><br>Can't you tell me you and me ain't lost<br>I know what I did, I know what it cost<br>Now I'm yours and I've got what you want<br><br>All the fightin' will have been for nothin'<br>If at the end I can't have you<br>I'll throw it all away if that's what you want me to do<br><br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can wake you<br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can shake you, too<br><br>Funny how desire can burn you up inside<br>And make you commit emotional suicide<br>Everybody's got the desire to leave their mark<br>Some just do it over a trail of broken hearts<br><br>And all the people that protect and serve<br>Would disappear if the well dried up<br>I'm thirsty for affection<br>Let me drink from your loving cup<br><br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can shock you<br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can rock you<br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can shake you<br>Living in oz, living in oz<br>Sometimes the dream can wake you, too
