Tell me baby what we're gonna do
I'll make it easy, got a lot to lose
Watch the sunlight, coming through
Open the window, let it shine on you

'Cause I've been sick and working all week
And I've been doing just fine (Hey)
You've been tired of watching me
Forgot to have a good time, boy (Hey)
You can't take it, all these faces
Never keeping it real
I know exactly how you feel

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down
When you feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

Oh, oh
I will never let you down
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

There's a million ways to go
Don't be embarrassed if you lose control
On the rooftop, now they know
Your body's frozen and you lost your soul

'Cause I've been sick and working all week
And I've been doing just fine (Hey)
You've been tired of watching me
Forgot to have a good time, boy (Hey)
You can't take it, all these faces
Never keeping it real (Yeah, yeah)
I know exactly how you feel

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down
When you feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

Oh, oh
I will never let you down
Oh, oh
I will never let you down

Let me take you where you never go
Have a little fun, it's the only way we know
Let me show you what you never see
You know how to love, only when you holding me (Oh)

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down (Oh)
When you feeling low on love
I'll be what you dreaming of
Oh, oh
I will never let you down (Oh)

When you say you've had enough
And you might just give it up
Oh, oh
I will never let you down (Oh)
When you feeling low love
I'll be what you dreaming of
I will never let you down

Put your hands up
You're surrounded
The whole love thing
I clowned it
Then who's the joker?
I guess I'm it
'Cause I let it right go when I found it
Time has never been my best suit
Now I've got everything except you
You moved out of my heart, still got the bruise
I'd give it all back to be next to you

I turn my radio up and it's just my luck
Why-y-y-y-y-y me?
I turn my TV on, it's the same old song
Why are you following me?
It's like a "Missing you" sign
Is written on my face
Why-y-y-y-y-y-eh?
It's like everybody knows
'Cause everywhere I go
The whole world is singing to me, yeah

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh-eh

I had the girl of my dreams
And now she's all gone
Thought that we could last forever
I was all wrong
Said the talking was cheap and now I'm flat broke
She don't even wanna see my face anymore
She don't wanna say
Where she's gone away
But now she's on replay
In my, in my brain
I'll do what it takes
Any time and place
We can turn a breakup into an outbreak

I turn my radio up and it's just my luck
Why-y-y-y-y-y me?
I turn my TV on, it's the same old song
Why are you following me?
It's like a "Missing you" sign
Is written on my face
Why-y-y-y-y-y-eh?
It's like everybody knows
'Cause everywhere I go
The whole world is singing to me, yeah

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please to come home
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh-eh

Although we're many miles apart but I still feel her
There'll never be another one like my Cecilia
Oh where, oh where could she be?
Does she still care about me?
When will she finally come back to, come back to me?

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
(I'm down on my knees)
I'm begging you please to come home
(Begging you, begging you please)
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh
Uh-uh-uh-eh-eh

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the path

I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms, oh, oh-oh
'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm gonna give you my heart, oh

I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you

'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh
