Take Me Away

If I was living, if I was dying
If I was crying, if I was sighing
The same response would come out of your mouth.
If life was simple
If I woke up with a pimple
I would worry and never think first
I am always concerned if I don’t look my best
And my biggest concern is the size of my breast.
A kiss on the hand, a kiss on the cheek
A kiss on the lips, it feels the same
But it doesn’t hide my horrible pain.
Paint the sky blue, faint on the moon
And now I’m worrying, do I scare you?
Tears in my eyes, tears on my face
As I fall into your arms, I fall into space.
I'll dance with you a million days
I'll make you mine though it’s so much pain.
And now my love, we come to the end
But please don’t dump me
Cause our love has just began.
