You Take Me Up

I work on the front line

I work to survive

And I sleep in a fever

So this is my life

And I cry in my sleep

Cry boy, cry boy

Just makes me weep when I try, how I try

And I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love, so please, don't ask me why

Working for reason

Day in, day out

Trying too hard

He's trying too hard

Moving in circles

Too hot, too hot

Don't get very far

Don't get very far

Should I ask you to dance?

Dance, boy, dance, boy

If I promised romance, would you come for the ride?

And I know what it means to work hard on machines

Do you believe in love? One that lasts for all time?

You take me up

Oh-oh

You take me up to the higher ground

You take me up

So high

Now I never wanna come back down

I'm glad in these hard times

Day in, day out

There's hope in your eyes

Hope in his eyes

And I don't need a religion

Too hot, too hot

'Cause this love never dies

Love never dies

But I believe in today

Believe, boy, believe, boy

Oh, it's better that way and you work through the night

And I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love, so please, don't ask me why

You take me up

Oh-oh

You take me up to a higher ground

You take me up

So high

Now I never wanna come back down

And I cry in my sleep

Cry, boy, cry, boy

Just makes me weep when I try, how I try

And I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love, so please, don't ask me why

You take me up

Oh-oh

You take me up to the higher ground

You take me up

So high

Now I never wanna come back down

You take me up

Oh-oh

You take me up to a higher ground

You take me up

So high

Now I never wanna come back down

Ooh
