Lyrics
When I lost you honey
Sometimes I think I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word
Send me something I’m afraid to lose
Lying in the heat of the night
Like prisoners all our lives
And I get shivers down my spine girl
And all I wanna do is hold you tight
Baby, baby, baby
I swear I’d drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Tonight there’s fallen angels
And they’re waiting for us down in the street
And tonight there’s calling strangers
Hear them crying in defeat
Let them go, let them go, let them go
Do their dances of the dead
Let ’em go right ahead girl
You just dry your eyes
And c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, let’s go to bed
Baby, baby, baby
I swear I’d drive all night again just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Oh yeah, oh yeah
There’s machines and there’s fire
Baby waiting on the edge of town
They’re out there for hire
But baby they can’t hurt us now
Cause you’ve got
You’ve got, you’ve got my
My love girl
You’ve got my love girl
Through the wind, through the rain
The snow, the wind, the rain
You’ve got, you’ve got my my love
Oh girl you’ve got my love
You’ve got, you’ve got my love
Oh girl you’ve got my love
You’ve got, you’ve got my love
Oh girl you’ve got my love
You’ve got, you’ve got my love
Oh girl you’ve got my love
Heart and soul
Heart and soul
Heart and soul
Heart
Don’t worry darlin’, tonight
And don’t cry now
Baby, don’t cry now
Oh don’t cry now
Oh don’t cry now
Just dry your eyes, little baby
Hey, dry your eyes
Baby, I’d drive all night
I swear I’d drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain
Through the snow, through the rain
Through the wind, through the snow, through the rain
I swear I’d drive all night
I swear I’ll drive all night
Through the wind, through the rain
Through the snow, through the rain
Through the wind, through the rain
