Lyrics: Michael B., di Lorenzo & Pete Smith
Verse 1
It doesn't matter what they say
You do your own thing anyway
even though you contradict yourself
if you need some help it's okay
A little envy brings you doubt
just eat it up and spit it out
no need to make a compromise
if you realize that you're strong enough, oh
Bridge
There's nothing better
than a heartbeat over mind
Chorus
Shout it from the rooftop
here I go
beating on the back door
of your soul
walking on a tightrope
don't you know
takes you higher, takes you higher
Dancing on the sidewalk
letting go
jumping on a fast train
nice and slow
surfing on a backbeat
no control
takes you higher, takes you higher
Verse 2
It doesn't matter what you do
it's only someones point of view
there doesn't have to be an alibi
when you wanna cry ¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚®cause you're blue
to spend a little ain't no crime
please yourself from time to time
we all get caught out in the pouring rain
we get wet the same
does it matter, no, no
Bridge
There ain't nothing better
than a heartbeat over mind
Chorus
Shout it from the rooftop
here I go
beating on the back door
of your soul
walking on a tightrope
don't you know
takes you higher, takes you higher
Dancing on the sidewalk
letting go
jumping on a fast train
nice and slow
surfing on a backbeat
no control
takes you higher, takes you higher
C-Part
You hide behind feelings
what's that all about
no need to hold it back
gonna shout it out, shout it out
ChorusIs there ever enough space between us
To keep us both honest and true?
Why is it so hard just to sit in the yard
And stare at the sky so blue?
I've got a new way of walking and a new way of talking
Honey when I'm around you,
But it gives me the blues when I've got some good news
And you're not there to bring it to.
Life is a blessing, it's a delicatessen
Of all the little favors you do.
All wrapped up together no matter the weather,
Baby you always come through.
It's a measure of treasure that gives me the pleasure
Of loving you the way I do
And you know I would gladly say I need your love badly
And bring these little things to you.
Cause you got gold
Gold inside of you
You got gold
Gold inside of you
Well I got some
Gold inside me too
Well I'm thinking I'm knowing that I gotta be going
You know I hate to say so long.
It gives me an ocean of mixed up emotion
I'll have to work it out in a song.
Well I'm leaving a lot for the little I got
But you know a lot a little will do
And if you give me your love
I'll let it shine up above
And light my way back home to you.
Cause you got gold
Gold inside of you
Cause you got gold
Gold inside of you
Well I got some
Gold inside me too
You got wheels
Turning inside of you
You got wheels
Turning inside of you
Well I got wheels
Turning inside me too
