I thought she had to have it, since the first time she came. Who knows the situation, mysteries do remain. And now I wonder why, I breakdown when I cry. Is it something I said or is it just a lie (is it just a lie)? I try so hard to love you, some things take time and shame. I think the whole world of you, your thoughts of me remain. I'll play the fool for you, I'll change the rules for you. Just say it and I'll do, just make this thing come true (make a dream come true).

 

If I let her get away, though I'm begging on my knees, I'll be crying everyday, knowing the girl that got away.

 

I can't let, I can't let her get away. (x4)

 

I tried to mastermind it, by saying let you be, but everytime I did it, the hurt came back at me. I told you that I need you, a thousand times, and why? I played the fool for you, and still you said goodbye (still you said goodbye).

 

If I let her get away, then the whole world will have to see a fool who lives alone and the fool who set you free.

 

I can't let, I can't let her get away. (x4)

 

I got the feeling, troubles gotta stop. I got the feeling, she's never gonna try. I got the feeling, she's never gonna stop. I got the feeling but she's never gonna know. My friends thought she's gonna like it. I got the feeling but she's never gonna take it. I got the feeling, her head's all fucked up. I got the feeling, she's out to play.

 

Can't let go. Can't let go.

Money. Money... Lie for it. Spy for it. Kill for it. Die for it. So you call it trust, but I say it's just in the Devil's game of greed and lust. They don't care, they do me for the money. They don't care, they use me for the money. So you go to church, read the holy word? In the scheme of life, it's all absurd. They don't care, they'd kill for the money. Do or dare, the thrill for the money. You're saluting the flag, your country trusts you – now you're wearing a badge, you're called the "Just Few", and you're fighting the wars, a soldier must do. I'll never betray or deceive you, my friend, but if you show me the cash, then I will take it. If you tell me to cry, then I will fake it. If you give me a hand, then I will shake it. You'll do anything for money...

 

Anything, anything, anything for money. Would lie for you, would die for you, even sell my soul to the Devil. (x2)

 

Insurance? Where do your loyalties lie? Is that your alibi? I don't think so, you don't care! You'd do her for the money. Say it's fair, you'd sue her for the money. Want your pot of gold, need the Midas touch. But you sell your soul, 'cause your God is such. You don't care, you kill for the money. Do or dare, the thrill for the money. Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttoney and greed? Then watch the ones with the biggest smiles, the idle jabbers, 'cause they're the backstabbers. If you know it's a lie, then you will swear it. If you give it with guilt, then you will bear it. If it's taking a chance, then you will dare it. You'll do anything for money...

 

Anything, anything, anything for money. Would lie for you, would die for you, even sell my soul to the Devil. (x4)

 

You say you wouldn't do it for all the money in the world, I don't think so! If you show me the man, then I will sell him. If you ask me to lie, then I will tell him. If you're dealing with God, then you will hell him. You'll do anything for money... Anything, anything for money, would lie for you, would die for you, even sell my soul to the Devil...

 

 

If you call out loud, will it get inside. Through the heart of your surrender, to your alibies. And you can say the words like you understand, but the power's in believing, so give yourself a chance. 'Cause you can climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest sea, hee. All you need is the will to want it and uhh, little self-esteem. So keep the faith! Don't let nobody turn you 'round. You gotta know when it's good to go, to get your dreams up off the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out. Believe in yourself no matter what it's gon' take. You can be a winner but you got to keep the faith! Gon' keep it, brother, you got it.

 

And when you think of trust, does it leed you home, to a place that you only dream of when you're all alone? And you can go by feel, 'stead of circumstance, but the power's in believing, so give yourself a chance. I know that you can sail across the water, float across the sky, high. Any road that you take will get you there, if you only try. So keep the faith, ow! Don't let nobody take you down, brother. Just keep your eyes on the prize and your feet flat on the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out.

 

I told my brother how to do the thing right: lift up your head and show the world you got pride! Go for what you want, don't let 'em get in your way. You can be a winner but you got to keep the faith. Gon' keep it, brother, you got it.

 

I know that keepin' the faith means never givin' up on love, but the power that love has to make it right, makes it, makes it right! So keep the faith! Gon'! Don't let nobody turn you 'round, brother. You gotta know when it's good to go, to get your dreams up off the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out.

 

Better stand up and act like you wanna do right. Don't play the fool for the rest of your life. Work on it, brother, and you'll make it someday. Go for what you want and don't forget the faith. Look at yourself and what you doin' right now. Stand back a minute, just to check yourself out. Straighten out your life and how you're livin' each day. Get yourself together 'cause you got to keep the faith. Gon'! Don't let nobody take you down, brother! Just keep your eyes on the prize and your feet flat on the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out.

 

Lift up your mind before your mind gets blown. Some things in life, you best just leave them alone. Go for what you want, don't let it get in your way. You can make it happen, but ya got to keep the faith. Gon' keep it, brother, you got to keep the faith. Yeah, keep the faith. Gon' keep it, sister, you got to keep the faith, na, na! I'll show my brotha how to do the thing right: lift up your head and show the world you got pride! Go for what you want, don't let 'em get in your way. You can be a winner if you keepin' the faith.

 

Straighten out yourself and get your mind on track. Dust off your butt and get your self-respect back. You've known me long enough to know that I don't play. Take it like you want it, but you got to keep the faith. Gon'! Don't let nobody take you down. Just keep your eyes on the prize, and get your feet back on the ground. So keep the faith, baby, yea. Because it's just a matter of time before your confidence will win out. But till that day I said you've got to keep the faith!
