Nothing But a Miracle
Gettin' tired of livin'
Livin' for a moment
Gettin' tired of hangin' on the line
I wake up every morning
And I pull back the curtain
Wonder if it's gonna rain or shine
Gettin' tired of thinkin'
Gettin' so tired of beggin'
Gettin' tired of forgettin'
That there's two of us
I'm getting so tired of loving a man
That just don't give a damn
Just tell me
Tell baby why I'm holding on
When your love is long gone
I got a good mind
So, why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Just tell me baby, why I've been holding on
For so long
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring ya back
Bring ya back to me now
Whoa whoa oh
Oh ooh, no no
I gotta get myself together
Gotta stop tellin' myself that I can do no better
Gotta go out and maybe start meeting some new people
I gotta go out and buy myself one of those little black dresses
Cause I'm so tired of this T-shirt
I'm so tired of cryin' off all my make-up
Gettin' just so tired of waking up
With a lonely heart
I'm getting so tired of giving a damn
About an absent hearted man
Just tell me
Tell baby why I'm holding on
When your love is long gone
I got a good mind
So, why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Just tell me baby why I've been holding on
For so long
And nothin' but a miracle is gonna bring ya back
Bring ya back to me now
Oh, I can see it
(Comin' out the shadows)
Comin' out the shadows
I can see it
It's comin' through the (windows)
It's comin' through the windows
Oh, I can see it
(It's comin' down the ceiling)
I can see it comin' down the ceiling
I can't escape it
Can't escape it
(Can't escape the feeling)
Oh I can't escape it
(Can't escape the feeling)
Tell me, yeah
Why I been holdin' on
When your love is long gone
I got a good mind
So, why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Just tell me baby why I've been holding on
For so long
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring ya back
Bring ya back to me now
Oh, nothin' but a miracle
Is gonna bring you back to me now
Oh nothin' but a miracle
Oh no no no
Oh nothin' but a miracle is gonna bring you back to me now
Oh no
Ooooh
