For Crying Out Loud Lyrics

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
