Normally I don't cross the line like this I hope I'm not coming off self-righteous You only met me tonight Feel free to stop me any time But if it was me I'd put your heart on a mantel Protect you from what you're not strong enough to handle I'd never leave 'til the tears are dry I'm there for you tonight And every other night 'Cause baby I know Love's just a pattern of ups and downs You need someone who wants To keep you safe and sound Someone who won't get tired Through the rain and fire Baby I know And I won't ever give the run around I'll be the one that's always gonna stand the ground Promise I won't get tired Through the rain and fire Normally I wouldn't carry on with you But she's nowhere to be found in the picture I see the sad in your eyes But feel free to stop me any time But if it was me I'd hold your heart in a glass case Instead she got you feeling like you're in last place Let me stay 'til the tears are dry I'm here for you tonight And every other night 'Cause baby I know Love's just a pattern of ups and downs You need someone who wants To keep you safe and sound Someone who won't get tired Through the rain and fire Baby I know I-I-I won't ever give the run around I-I'll be the one that's always gonna stand the ground I-I promise I won't get tired Through the rain and fire (ooh yeah, ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah) Through the rain and fire It's amazing how I can look in your eyes And tell that you haven't been satisfied For a long time If she just can't deliver I can do it better Let me summarize It's amazing that we only met tonight And I don't mean to bother But you seem like an angel That's longing to be free tonight I'll be your alibi Baby I know (ah ah) Love's just a pattern of ups and downs (ah ah) You need someone who wants (ah ah) To keep you safe and sound (ah ah) Someone who won't get tired Through the rain and fire Baby I know (ah ah) I won't ever give the run around (ah ah) I'll be the one that's always gonna stand the ground (ah ah) Promise I won't get tired Through the rain and fire (rain and fire) Through the rain and fire (rain and fire, rain and fire) (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah) (Ah ah, rain and fire, ooh yeah, ooh yeah ooh yeah ooh yeah)
