Tidal Wave

Don't matter what I do, or I say

or the dues that I pay

or the ice that I skate,

It's still a heavy slate and I

Can't get away, no I can't get away

Cause what I do and what I say

never goes my way

I watch the clock and I stay

just sitting at the dock of the bay

you've got me trippin' baby what can I say?

Because you're always on my mind

I see your name in each passing sign

and though your lips are my sweet escape,

I'm tortured by the only one I crave

You lift me up (you lift me up)

You bring me down (you bring me down)

but you don't reach for my hand

do you like to see me drown?

for your love (for your love)

I am a slave (I am a slave)

You hit my heart

like a tidal wave

Hey Hey! Hey Hey!

Whether it's April or May,

the rain washes away

and it's a holiday when I hear you say

I can't get away, no I can't get away

I try to turn the page, to a book set ablaze

you've got me locked in a cage

lost within an endless maze.

Just keep it spinning, let the record play

Because you're always on my mind

I see your name in each passing sign

and though your lips are my sweet escape,

I'm tortured by the only one I crave

You lift me up (you lift me up)

You bring me down (you bring me down)

but you don't reach for my hand

do you like to see me drown?

for your love (for your love)

I am a slave (I am a slave)

You hit my heart

like a tidal wave

You lift me up (you lift me up)

You bring me down (you bring me down)

but you don't reach for my hand

do you like to see me drown?

for your love (for your love)

I am a slave (I am a slave)

You hit my heart

like a tidal wave

Hey Hey! Hey Hey!

Hey Hey! Hey Hey!

You lift me up (you lift me up)

You bring me down (you bring me down)

but you don't reach for my hand

do you like to see me drown?

for your love (for your love)

I am a slave (I am a slave)

You hit my heart

like a tidal wave

You lift me up (you lift me up)

You bring me down (you bring me down)

but you don't reach for my hand

do you like to see me drown?

for your love (for your love)

I am a slave (I am a slave)

You hit my heart

like a tidal wave
