I'm stronger than an ox, Iron to the core
Getting bolder every day , now I live outside the law
I don't even get the blues, not anymore
'Cos I've found the perfect place, we're all looking for

Ah but each time I try to fly
The voice in my head
Says get back to the drawing board and start again…

And I need you, and I want you
Gotta have you, and I can't let go, no I can't let go

I can walk into a room and I know just where to stand
I can talk to anyone like a confidential man
I got all the clever lines, and I know all the moves
I'm a perfect suit of clothes, in the perfect pair of shoes

Ah but each time I try to fly
The voice in my head
Says get down to the bottom boy, and start again…

And I need you, and I want you
Gotta have you, 'cos I can't let go, no I can't let go

I was dyin' of thirst, and looking my worst when I came in here mmm
Now I stand alone in the the night, wondering what is right
Why you came in here
I can't stay in here
I don't hang around no more, the places that we used to
I guess I've learned a little, and I know what I should do
I've become a little quieter, a little more contained
You could say I'm waiting – waiting for a change

Ah but each time I try to fly
The voice in my head
Says get back to the drawing board, and try again…

And I need you, and I want you
Gotta have you, and I can't let go, no I can't let go
And I feel you, 'cos I failed you
And I lost you, but I can't let go, no I can't let go
And I love you, and I want you
More than ever, but I can't let go – no I can't let go
