For Crying Out Loud Lyrics - Singles - Jim Steinman

I was lost till you were found 

But I never knew how far down 

I was falling 

Before I reached the bottom 

I was cold and you were fire 

And I never knew how the pyre 

Could be burning 

On the edge of the icefield 

And now the chilly California wind 

Is blowing down our bodies again 

And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand 

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart 

And can't you see my faded Levi's 

Bursting apart 

And don't you hear me crying: 

"Oh Babe, don't go" 

And don't you hear me screaming: 

"How was I to know?" 

I'm in the middle of nowhere 

Near the end of the line 

But there's a border to somewhere waiting 

And there's a tank full of time 

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day 

And take me to another land where I don't have to stay 

And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do 

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes, 

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through 

For crying out loud 

You know I love you 

For crying out loud 

You know I love you 

For crying out loud 

You know I love you 

I was damned and you were saved 

And I never knew how enslaved 

I was kneeling 

In the chains of my master 

I could laugh oh but you could cry 

And I never knew just how high 

I was flying 

Oh, with you right above me 

And now the chilly California wind 

Oh is blowing down our bodies again 

And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand 

Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart 

And can't you see my faded Levi's 

Bursting apart 

And don't you hear me crying: 

"Oh Babe, don't go" 

And don't you hear me screaming: 

"Oh how was I to know?" 

I'm in the middle of nowhere 

Near the end of the line 

But there's a border to somewhere waiting 

And there's a tank full of time 

Oh give me just another moment to see the light of the day 

And take me to another land where I don't have to stay 

And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do 

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes, 

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through 

For crying out loud 

You know I love you 

Oh or crying out loud 

You know I love you 

Oh for crying out loud 

You know I love you 

Ohhh for crying out loud 

You know I love you 

For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry 

For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why 

And my oh my 

For that I thank you 

For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold 

For giving me a child when my body is old 

And don't you know 

For that I need you 

For coming to my room when you know I'm alone 

For finding me a highway and for driving me home 

And you gotta knowFor that I serve you 

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall 

For revving me up when I'm starting to stall 

And all in all 

For that I want you 

For taking and for giving and for playing the game 

For prying for my future in the days that remain 

Ohh LordFor that I hold you 

Ah but most of all 

For crying out loudFor that I love you 

Ah but most of all 

For crying out loudFor that I love you 

When you're crying out loud 

You know I love you
