I'm hitting my legs and pounding my chest But my eyes just want to rest. Slapping and clapping to keep me awake, The lids of my eyes half- closed to the day. Now i'm on a round-the-clock watch To keep you in sight... Keep you from flying. 'cause i blink and you're gone. Your soul's so bright it rivals the sun. I blink and you're gone. Will i find the strength to carry on? You're like a thief, so taken with the night You steal the breath from inside me And i'm the victim of your flight You always deny me... I can't go on, this world's so cruel If the men don't get ya then the women will.
