Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is Can't you hear it calling oh yeah Everybody's dancin' oh yeah Tonight everything is over I feel too young I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong But when this feeling calls this world becomes another Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give Is not enough to end your fears I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is Can't you hear it calling oh yeah Everybody's shakin' oh yeah Tonight everything is over I feel too young Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight I wish I knew what I was doing Just do let this spirit survive Everybody's dancing oh yeah I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is Can't you hear it calling oh yeah Everybody's dancing oh yeah Tonight everything is over I feel too young
