Thompson Twins – You Take Me Up lyrics

I work on the frontline
I work to survive

And I sleep in a fever - so this is my life.
I cry in my sleep - cry boy
Cry boy

It just makes me weep
When I try how I try.
I know what it means to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love
So please
Don't ask me why.
I'm looking for reasons - day in
Day out.
I'm trying too hard - he's trying too hard.
I'm moving in circles - too hot
Too hot.
Don't get very far - don't get very far.
Should I ask she to dance - dance boy
Dance boy.
If I promise romance
Will you come for the ride.
I know what it means
To work hard on machines.
Do you believe in love one that lasts for all time.

You take me up
Oh ho
You take me up to the higher ground.
You take me up so high
Now I never want to come back down
I'm glad in these hard times - day in
Day out.
There's hope in your eyes - hope in his eyes.
I don't need a religion - too hot
Too hot.
'Cause this love never dies - love never dies.
I believe in today - believe boy
Believe boy.
It's better that way and you work through the night.
I know what it means
To work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love
So please
Don't ask me why.
You take me up
Oh ho
You take me up to the higher ground. . .
I cry in my sleep - cry boy
Cry boy. . . .
You take me up
Oh ho
You take me up to the higher ground. . .
You take me up. oh ho. you take me up to the higher ground. . .
