If he could hold her, so close in his arms...again If she could show him The letter her heart forgot to send...why They're livin' dreams on their own Ooh they'll never stop running The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way And when he calls her She tells him that she still cares Under the moonlight, He wonders why she can't be there...why Why do they go on alone When they're missin' each other The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way There's a fire Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you Don't you know she still cries Ooh do you know she still cries for you Fire Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you For you she cries Ooh do you know she still cries for you Fire Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you Ooh nothing stands between love and you
