You may strike me down in anger
You may hold a different vice
You may talk about me
Spreading round your foolish lies
You may say it all comes
Down to just one thing
You either take it
Or you leave it
And bear the consequence it brings
I've kissed the lips of angels
I've mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I've tried
Living by you rules
I've walked with the restless
They don't get much sleep
I've made another promise
One I could not keep
You make strike me down in anger
You may burn me with your eyes
You may talk about me
Spreading round your foolish lies
You may say it's all or nothing
And that there's no in-between
And all I need to do is focus
And stop living in a dream
I've tried to make a difference
I knew that would not last
While trying to move forward
I got caught up by the past
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Can? Can I take it?
Can I ? Can? Will I try to
Break away from you?
I've kissed the lips of angels
I've mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I've tried
Living by your rules
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Now, sing, sing
When I sing, would you sing with me?
When I sing, would you sing with me?
When I sing, would you sing with me?
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you

A little out of place
No it ain't my sort of thing
But it makes her smile
So it's alright by me
And this may not be my scene
But I lie every time
'Cause I feel richer than anybody here
With her by my side
We said goodbye
With some kisses and some words
But all I heard
Is "How'd he get a girl like that?"
I caught myself in the mirror
And couldn't help but see
How beautiful I look with her
Standing next to me
And her friends all say
In a shushed kinda way
"Man how'd he get a girl like that?
How's a girl from the hill
Find life in a billy
From the wrong side of the tracks?"
Well at the end of the day
Breaking my back
Something you know nothing about
All I did was love her
All I did was love her
Well all I am
Oh, is how she looks at me
And she loves my ways
She never judges anything
When I feel wrong
I come around to feeling right
At how lucky do I feel with her
Lying next to me tonight
And her friends all say
In a shushed kinda way
"Man how'd get a girl like that?
Hows a girl from the hill
Find life in a billy
From the wrong side of the tracks?"
Well at the end of the day
Breaking my back
Something you know nothing about
All I did was love her
All I did
Was hold her inside of a working man's arms
And never let her go
And at the end of the sun on a long hard day
Keep the fires burning at home
Yeah
Ooh at the end of the day
Breaking my beak
Something you know nothing about
All I did was love her
All I did was love her
