Lyrics

Everything I Do (Leads Me Back To You)

Everything I do
Leads me back to you
A-see me standing in the acid rain
A-full of existential pain
(Ooh) A-you can look for love so long
Until you're sure you'll never feel so good again
(Ooh) Then you came along
Like an angel, like a lover, like a friend

Yeah everything I do (everything I do)
Leads me back to you

Well I'm a man without a place
Sometimes afraid to show my face
Hear me humming in the night
When you turn out the light
(Ooh) They can blow my tires out
'Til I'm filled up with nothing else but doubt
(Ooh) Still I'm rolling on my rims
Oh baby, coming back to you again

Yeah everything I do (everything I do)
Leads me back to you

When I'm on the rise
When it's do or die or lullaby
Would you take an alibi
If I said was you and I
Further on

'Cause it's everything I do (everything I do)
Everything I do (leads me back to you)

You know it's hard for a man to sing
When his pride blocks everything
A-you can have a way with words
When your thoughts they can't be heard
(Ooh) But don't take it the wrong way
Like half the things I ever tried to say
(Ooh) Well I got my demons too
A-but my angels, they're all cheering for you

'Cause everything I do (everything I do)
It leads me back to you
Yeah everything I do (everything I do)
Leads me back to you
'Cause everything I do (everything I do)
It leads me back to you
Yeah everything I do (everything I do)
Leads me back to you
Everything I do (everything I do)
It leads me back to you
Yeah everything I do (everything I do)
Leads me back to you
