Best Intentions Lyrics - Singles - Hitchcock Russell

(George Merrill/Shannon Rubicam) 

I am not what I seem to be 

I mean no harm 

I'm not a fake 

There's a world alive inside of me 

Got a heart that beats 

And eyes that see 

So don't tune out this frequency 

CHORUS 

Best intentions don't guarantee 

Only love will set you free 

Makes no difference long as you live and breathe 

Like you, like me 

If I believe only what I see 

I kiss the dark 

I am the thief 

Stealing light from all of us in need 

Causing grief 

Ignorant conceit 

So show me love, give me some relief 

CHORUS 

I came from nowhere like this city street 

Everybody's walkin' to a lonely beat 

I don't know what they're saying 

But I know what they mean 

And all their good intentions 

Will only chain and fetter me 

Take me home 

To where I want to be...free 

Free..like you, like me, like you, free 

CHORUS
