When the morning came, I was up before first light.
|
And your bed was made, must have cut out sometime last night.
|
And my heartbeat started pounding out a rhythm in my brain.
|
A voice from deep inside said, "You've got to be insane."
|
Everyone knows how this old story goes,
|
So I got in that taxi and drank my conscience away.
|
|
If you're gonna be there, be there.
|
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight.
|
Start living. Out with the old.
|
I'm all lit up, must be the good life.
|
|
I went to your friend's house and begged you to open the door.
|
With your hands on your hips, you spoke while I sat down on that floor.
|
Two dishes in the kitchen sink, the way you treat me when you drink,
|
You don't look so superior when you give your opinion.
|
Don't think I don't know how you act on your own.
|
And just who are those names on your cell phone, anyway?
|
|
If you're gonna be there, be there.
|
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight.
|
Start living. Out with the old.
|
I'm all lit up, must be the good life.
|
|
You're a cool breeze and the setting sun;
|
New Years, the 4th, wrapped into one.
|
You make me want to be someone that you could look up to.
|
|
If you're gonna be there, be there.
|
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight.
|
Start living. Out with the old.
|
I'm all lit up, must be the good life.
|
|
Come on get love.
|
Come on and try.
|
Come on now, what are you waiting for?
|
|
(repeat 4x)
|
|
When the morning came I was up before first light.

Be There
