Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

A heaven, a gateway, a hope

Just like a feeling inside, it's no joke

And though it hurts me to treat you this way

Betrayed by words I'd never heard, too hard to say

[Chorus]

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

[PostChorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try

To break this circle that's been placed around me

From time to time, I find I've lost some need

That was so urgent to myself, I do believe

[Chorus]

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around

Please don't let me hit the ground

Tonight, I think I'll walk alone

I'll find my soul as I go home

[PostChorus]

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]

Oh, you've got green eyes, oh, you've got blue eyes

Oh, you've got grey eyes

Oh, you've got green eyes, oh, you've got blue eyes

Oh, you've got grey eyes

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before

No, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Bolts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

Bolts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

Bolts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

Bolts from above hit the people down below

People in this world, we have no place to go

[Outro]

Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time

Oh, it's the last time, oh, it's the last time

Oh, it's the last time

Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before

Oh, no, I've never met anyone quite like you before
