But you sure don’t want me in it
Yeah you’re sure the life you’re living with me
Can’t go on one single minute
And there’s a new one waiting outside this door
And now’s the time to begin it
And you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold
And you better face it
Who’s gonna pick you world up off the ground
Who’s gonna take away the tears you cry
Who’s gonna love you baby as good as I
You’ve always had me there beside you
You think it’s easy finding someone out there
Who’s gonna care as much as I do
What’s gonna happen baby when you find out
That there’s no one there to cry to
How you’re gonna make it
You can follow you heart
But what you do when someone breaks it
Who’s gonna pick you world up off the ground
Who’s gonna take away the tears you cry
Who’s gonna love you baby as good as I
And you want to taste it
But that world can turn cold
And you better face it
Who’s gonna pick you world up off the ground
Who’s gonna take away the tears you cry
Who’s gonna love you baby as good as I
Who’s gonna pick your world up off the ground
Who’s gonna take away the tears you cry
Who’s gonna love you baby as good as I
Songwriters: Diane Warren
Like a shot from a gun
Don’t jump too high
And knock out the sun
Don’t stray too far
Out on your own
When you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There’ll be nobody home
Nobody home
Like a kite in the wind
You’ll break the string
When I reel you in
Don’t take off flying
All on your own
When you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There’ll be nobody home
Nobody home
Stuck inside to stay
You want to fly away
There’s nothing I can do
To help you make your play
Make your getaway
Don’t dream too wild
And shoot for the moon
Don’t ride your heart
Like a balloon
Don’t blow away
To places unknown
Cause when you finally coming knocking
When you finally come knocking
There’ll be nobody home
Nobody home
Like a shot from a gun
Don’t jump too high
And knock out the sun
Don’t stray too far
Out on your own
Cause when you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There’ll be nobody home
Nobody home
When you finally come knocking
There’ll be nobody home
Nobody home
When you finally come knocking
There’ll be nobody home
Nobody home
