Текст песни Tanita Tikaram - We Almost Got It Together
We almost got it together
And I'll be your favorite thing
Oh, stand by the river with hard-luck eyes
And I'll just be open and sing
And if I was telling you stories
I was only trying to surprise
I wish I were like the frog princess
And I'd never tell you lies
And down by the soil of the hard life
Oh, they like to greet us with smiles
Oh, they like to tell us their good hostess
Had traveled a million miles
But you'd like it written closer
Yes, you'd like it written pure
If I told you this, would you miss my kiss?
No, you'd come right back for more
Oh, I'd like to be what I wanna be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take what you have to take
But I'd still be here when you're gone
And there's a light by your window
And I'd like to capture you by there
And I'd like to hold you for all to see
But they don't really care
And if I said you're no big deal-o
Yes, I said you're a major thing
Would you stand by me at the corner dock
And say "Yes! This girl is a swing"
Oh, I'd like to be what I wanna be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take what you have to take
But I'd still be here when you're gone
And I'd like another cue
That's why I strain to see
And I'd like the best in you
'Cause you write the best of me
And everybody was swinging
Oh, swooning to the heart in me
Oh, they were sure that I'd be burning, yes
So the torch where they might be
And if I said you're cold inside, yes
And if you were true to me
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
And crawl on back to me?
Oh, I'd like to be what I wanna be
But you want to carry on
But you need to take what you have to take
