(Verse)
I saw you again walking down the road
I want you to say yes babe but I'm scared that you might say no
Well how many times will I let you go
well I don't know babe but it really hurts me so
(Bridge)
Will she turn will she look at me
my hands are shaking but now I see
I wanna touch her so naturally
she turned right round and she said to me
(Chorus)
Babe you get me high
you get me higher than I've ever been
you got me riding on your soul train
yeah your love makes me want to give in
(Solo)
(Verse)
Well my friend once told me
you gotta walk before they make you run
yeah and I know about that now
and I still gotta have my fun
everybody is searching
for something that they just can't find
well if I don't find you babe
I'm gonna go out of my mind
(Bridge)
Will she turn will she look at me
my hands are shaking but now I see
I wanna touch her so naturally
then she turned and she said to me
(Chorus)
Babe you get me high
you get me higher than I've ever been
you got me riding on your soul train
yeah your love makes me want to give in
I said babe you get me high
you get me higher than I've ever been
yeah better than a line of cocaine
or a sweet shot of heroin

(Verse)
Well I wanna be with you but you just won't help me with it

But I don't wanna let you down

so go ahead and do it and don't be scared of giving
I'll be there at the station with your suitcase in my hand
to take you away to that old promised land
(Chorus)
But I don't wanna let you down

well I guess you heard the word around
that I can't find your face in this town
and now I'm going down without a sound
cos there's so much pain all around
well I didn't wanna let you down
but I can't find your face in this town
and now I'm going down without a sound
cos there's so much pain all around
(Verse)
Well I jumped off the train cos I didn't have a ticket
they wanna ask why and I'll tell them where to stick it
I've had enough of you and your stupid little games
you think they're really fun but they always end in pain
(Chorus)
But I don't wanna let you down
no I don't wanna let you down
no I don't wanna let you down
no I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down

but I don't wanna let you down
