Toto - Dying On My Feet lyrics

Dying on my feet
Sure beats living on my knees
These hands around my neck
They get tighter as you squeeze
I'd crawl across the water, baby
Just to get away from you
Take my life but make it shorter
Seems the least that you could do

(Reach out) Someone reach out to me
Cause I've lost my way
(Sometimes we) Give into things
When we lie and cheat
(Say things) My life's crumblin' down
Time for me to pray
(Hold me in) Deep inside
Cause I'm dying on my feet

Life is hard
But I think, "Compared to what?"
Can't see the things you get to
But deserve just what you got
Will you still forgive me baby
If I don't come back for more
Everything that ever mattered baby
Is locked behind your door

(Can't judge) things I don't understand
Since you walked away
(Easy to) Feel this way
Cause I'm back on the street
(Life is) A game you can't win
You can only play
(Here I am) I'm just dyin', I'm just dyin'
I'm just dyin'!

(Reach out) Someone reach out to me
Cause I've lost my way

(Say things) My life's crumblin' down
Time for me to pray
(Hold me in) Deep inside, cause
I'm dyin', I'm just dyin', i'm just dyin'
