I’m getting into something
You got me into something good
Like I knew you would
I’m moving into something
You move me into something easy
And it pleases me
Took me by surprise
Never saw the light
Until you turned it on
You got me into something
God knows I’m hitton on life
And I wonder why the sun ain’t shinin’ where you are
You know it’s alright baby
It ain’t over
Oh it’s only ours to lose
What is gone well we can’t use together
So it’s alright baby, it ain’t over
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m gettin’ into something
You got me into something wild
And I’m getting high
I’m pulling into something
You pull me into something deeper
Oh it’s deeper now
Took me by surprise
I never thought that I would give it out again
You got me into something
God knows I wanna be as close as I’ll ever be
Something’s getting into me
You know it’s alright baby it ain’t over
It was only ours to lose
What is gone, well we can’t use together
So it’s alright baby it ain’t over
I dind’t mean to hurt you
It was nothing, I was dreaming
But I’d rather live believing
The time you got addictive
I was somewhere getting used
When you were self abusive
I put out and got abused
With you I don’t feel the need to qualify my life
Let’s get it on before it’s gone
Just meet me at the corner
Cos it’s alright
Summer’s gone winter’s in your eyes
I can feel the thunder storms inside
I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me
All I’ve got’s a ghost of what could be
If you can see the lights shine in front of me
If you can see the lights shout out where you’ll be
I’m in a broken dream I stare out into space
You know I called you up cos nothing takes your place
I’ve got a heart of stone and it’s sinking deep inside
I want to tell you love I’m too proud to cry
….for those women who feel trapped by their surroundings, their lives, their love: I dedicate this Tears For Fears video to you and by the end may you feel empowered to break those chains and “free her”
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains
Calls her man the Great White Hope
Says she’s fine, she’ll always cope
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains
Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man’s deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains
Trades her soul as skin and bone
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains
Men of Stone Men of Stone
Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can’t heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains
It’s under my skin but out of my hands
I’ll tear it a part but I won’t understand
I will not accept the Greatness of Man
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains
So Free Her So Free Her
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you’ve caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
She’ll flow down your river
And ask him and she’ll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she’s thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she’s yours
She’s flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
To melt into this lake
She’ll flow down your river
And ask him and she’ll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She’ll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
She knows what I’m thinking
She’ll flow down your river
And ask him and she’ll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
