Meat Loaf Lyrics

Album: Bat Out Of Hell

For Crying Out Loud Lyrics

I was lost till you were found

But I never know 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 ice field

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 Levis

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 tankful 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 but you could cry

And I never knew just how high

I was flying

Ah, with you right above me

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 Levis

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 tankful 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 eh 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

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 feel 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, for driving me home

And you got to know

For 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 you got to know

For that

I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game

For praying for my future in the days that remain

Oh Lord

For that

I hold you

Ah, but most of all

For crying out loud 

For that

I love you

Ah, but most of all

For crying out loud 

For that

I love you

Ah, but most of all

For crying out loud 

For that

I love you

When you're crying out loud

You know

I love you
