LYRICS

All this time I have followed the rules And I've lived the perfect life Alright By somebody else's standards All this time I did not feel too bad But I was not what you call happy Not really I was searching for something And all this time you were standing by And all this time you were waiting All this time I've been living a lie And I even fooled myself completely Now I'm really ready Right or wrong I will follow your course And if you go down I'll drown So save me I'm not as strong as I look yea All this time I've been saying No But all this time I've been meaning Yes I'm ready to take your hand Follow you into the promise land Ooh yea let's talk about it I'm a fool for you Ducking and diving 'cos I'm a fool for you All this time I've been saying No But all this time I've been meaning Yes i'm ready to take your hand Follow you into the promise land
