La la la la la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la la
Well I know, if I’d arrived in time to know youYou’d have taken the time to show meI wouldn’t be lonely
Where will I go, who will I have to lie beside meIs it something that’s inside meI’m so lonely
Tried so hard each time, each time I just can’t make itFeelin’ fast vibrations and I just can’t take itLiving from day to day, chasing the dreamI’m, I’m leavin’
La la la la la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la la
Tried so hard each time, each time I just can’t make itFeelin’ fast vibrations and I just can’t take itLiving from day to day, chasing the dreamI’m, I’m leavin’
