Taking It All Too Hard
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
(Banks/Collins/Rutherford)
Talk to me, you never talk to me
It seems that I can speak
But I can hear my voice shouting out
But there's no reply at all
Look at me, you never look at me
I've been sitting here staring seems so long
But you're looking through me
Like I wasn't there at all
There's no reply at all
Dance with me, you never dance with me
It seems that I can move
I'm close to you, close as I can get
But there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
I get the feeling you're trying to tell me
Is there something that I should know
What excuse are you trying to sell me
Should I be reading stop or go, I don't know
Be with me, it seems you're never here with me
I've been trying to get over there
But it's out of my reach
And there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
I get the feeling you're trying to tell me ...
Maybe deep down inside
I'm trying for no one else but me
Too stubborn to say, the buck stops here
It's not the one you're looking for
But maybe deep down inside
I'm lying to no-one else but me
But my back is up
I'm on my guard - with all the exits sealed
Listen to me, you never listen to me
And it seems there's no way out
I've been trying but we cannot connect
And there's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
There's no reply at all
No reply at all
Is anybody listening
There's no reply at all
[repeat and fade]
No not this confused again
No not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
Why can't you see what's going on?
I know you'd never admit
You would ever be to blame
Everything's a game to you
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
I cannot help you, it's much too late
No not this confused again
No not the same mistakes again.
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
There's always a reason why it happened
You never never did anything wrong, but it
It just happened to fall apart
You're taking it all too hard
Now that it's dark, all of your fears,
Like shadows creeping around.
You're much too scared to look down
And it's lonely out on your own
The old days are gone
And they're better left alone
But I still miss you
I keep it to myself
Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
Oh no not this confused again
Oh no not the same mistakes again
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
You're taking it all to heart
You're taking it all too hard
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright
Like a load on your back that you can't see, ooh but it's alright
Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it awa from me
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
I'm going down, going down like a monkey, ooh but it's alright
Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you can't see
Don't you know it's alright
It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, and round and round
But just get it away from me - oh
Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
We're gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn
I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you
So please answer the phone, cos I keep calling, but you're never home
What am I gonna do
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
You keep telling me I'm everything, you say I've got everything I want
You keep telling me you're gonna help me, you're gonna help me, but
you don't
And now I'm in too deep
You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep
Oh get me out of here, please get me out of her
Just help me I'll do anything, anything,
Get me out of here
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright
It's like a load on your back that you can't see
Ooh don't you know that it's alright
Just try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go
But just get it away from me
Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Maybe we'll make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Please get me out of here
Someone get me out of here
Just help me I'll do anything, anything
If you'll just help get me out of here
Tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right
Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Yes tonight, tonight, tonight - oh
Yes I'm gonna make it right, tonight, tonight, tonight - oh...
