Something’s Got To Give

[Verse]
I was out there on the tarmac
No regards and no regards
Just a man with shattered vision
And trying hard just to forget
I've led a life of many sorrows
Verging on the edges of despair
But still I walked along the beaches
I've always made my motives very clear

[Chorus]
Living a life that's hard to keep
Walking on paths that were to steep
Sometimes I wonder where they lead
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
I know when something's got to give

[Verse]
And as I think of all the pleasurе
All the happy times I've had
Whеn I remember all those moments
I suppose I should be glad
But ain't it strange how love gets tarnished?
How all the beauty fades away
I've had so many bitter endings
All the words we never meant to say

[Chorus]
Living a life that's hard to keep
Walking on paths that were to steep
Sometimes I wonder where they lead
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
I know when something's got to give

[Chorus]
Living a life that's hard to keep
Walking on paths that were to steep
Sometimes I wonder where they lead
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
I know when something's got to give

[Verse]
I used to cry these tears of pain
Endlessly calling out your name
I always knew you'd be the girl I'd try to find
Oh, I would follow her through the night
Thinking, "what kind of fool am I?"
Just a remedy making matters worse

[Chorus]
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
Just like the boy who never wanted you to go
I know when something's got to give
I know when something's got to give
They little girl, I know when something's got to give

[Verse]
I was out there on the tarmac
No regards and no regards
Just a man with shattered vision
And trying hard just to forget
I've led a life of many sorrows
Verging on the edges of despair
But still I walked along the beaches
I've always made my motives very clear

[Chorus]
Living a life that's hard to keep
Walking on paths that were to steep
Sometimes I wonder where they lead
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
I know when something's got to give

[Verse]
And as I think of all the pleasurе
All the happy times I've had
Whеn I remember all those moments
I suppose I should be glad
But ain't it strange how love gets tarnished?
How all the beauty fades away
I've had so many bitter endings
All the words we never meant to say

[Chorus]
Living a life that's hard to keep
Walking on paths that were to steep
Sometimes I wonder where they lead
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
I know when something's got to give

[Chorus]
Living a life that's hard to keep
Walking on paths that were to steep
Sometimes I wonder where they lead
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
I know when something's got to give

[Verse]
I used to cry these tears of pain
Endlessly calling out your name
I always knew you'd be the girl I'd try to find
Oh, I would follow her through the night
Thinking, "what kind of fool am I?"
Just a remedy making matters worse

[Chorus]
Just like a man who's seen his way
Just like a girl who walks away
Just like the boy who never wanted you to go
I know when something's got to give
I know when something's got to give
They little girl, I know when something's got to give

[Verse]
Jag har sakta börjat ana
Symmetrin i våran värld
Jag tvingas le åt mina drömmar
Finns ingen plats för svaga här
Jag har försökt att finna mening
I alla motgångar och kval
Alla tankar bara leder
Mot samma slutgiltiga svar

[Chorus]
Skuggan som följer mina spår
Vandrar längs stigar utan mål
Längs denna mörka korridor
Röster som nämner hennes namn
Bilder av mig i hennes famn
Liksom ett skepp som nått sin hamn

[Verse]
I städer samlas unga människor
Jag ser dem dansa, ser dem le
En gång så deltog jag i leken
Jag insåg att jag inget har att ge
Jag har sett unga mäns vars laster
Har fört dem bortom varje princip
Människor du ansåg vara vänner
Vars moral plötsligt sänkt dem till svin

[Chorus]
Skuggan som följer mina spår
Vandrar längs stigar utan mål
Längs denna mörka korridor
Röster som nämner hennes namn
Bilder av mig i hennеs famn
Liksom ett skepp som nått sin hamn

[Chorus]
Liksom ett barn som sökеr tröst
Invid sin moders nakna bröst
Längtar jag efter att höra hur din röst
Viskar de ord vi fått av Gud
Att sedan åter känna hur
Vi sakta blir till vackra vilda djur

[Chorus]
Röster som nämner hennes namn
Bilder av mig i hennes famn
Liksom ett skepp som efter stormen når sin hamn
Skuggan som följer mina spår
Skuggan som följer mina spår
Du är skuggan som följer mina spår
