I won't stand bein' broken heartedÂÂÂ
I won't be pushed aroundÂÂÂ
The rules were set when we got startedÂÂÂ
But lately I have foundÂÂÂ
We've spent too little time and too much heartacheÂÂÂ
I feel we're losin' groundÂÂÂ
And lately I've been hearin'ÂÂÂ
You won't be needin' me aroundÂÂÂ
Don't leave me lonelyÂÂÂ
Just wanna be right by your side
Your one and only - toniteÂÂÂ
So don't leave me lonelyÂÂÂ
I need you here all the timeÂÂÂ
So don't leave me lonely - oh no
You say you need your independenceÂÂÂ
Well I need mineÂÂÂ
Separate lives and separate feelings
I guess that's fineÂÂÂ
But that won't last - it's no solution
I know it can't surviveÂÂÂ
And lately I've been thinkin'
Thinkin' 'bout you all the time I might be at a table
And suddenly I'll catch
A fleeting vision of her crystal seas
Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway
Beneath the sun I've never seen
'Cos I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again
The planet earth
My earth
I might be chasing waves of light
Out towards the grim
Where stars are sparse
And the cold of space seeps in
But I might be in a barroom
Drinking menthylated gin
And thinking of places I have been
Yes I have seen many worlds
For what it's worth
But I'll never see again the planet earth
My earth
Cast adrift amongst the stars
I float from sun to sun
Dreaming of the world that gave me birth
All the places I have been
Remind me there is none to match the green living hills of earth.
