Straight Back To You[Verse 1]I was sixteen when the story began And you used to say come as soon as you can And I'd leave right away with the stars up above The karma stopped and I was in love [Chorus 1] And I'd come straight back to you At the sound of your name Straight back to you To see you again And you'd leave me a light And I'd find my way Straight back to you to stay... [Verse 2] When I was eighteen There's the story unfolds And I moved away though the house was unsold And the day that I left, you gave me a ring We weren't engaged but it meant something [Chorus 2] For I'd have gone straight back to you If I felt that I could Straight back to you To your neighborhood And you'd leave me a light And I'd find my way Straight back to you to stay... [Verse 3] When I was twenty things gradually turned bad And I should have left then and I wish that I had But you say to yourself that things will improve And they never do and it's then that you lose [Chorus 3] For I'd have gone straight back to you If I thought things would change Straight back to you The past you exchanged And you'd leave me a light And I'd find my way Straight back to you to stay...hey [Verse 4] When I turned twenty-one things came to an end And you live with someone who was once just a friend And before I left I did one last thing I came to your house and brought out the ring [Chorus 4] And gave it straight back to you Though I felt no remorse Straight back to you And then love ran its course And you left me alive And I found my way Straight out of there and away Straight out of there and away Straight out of there and away |
