LYRICS

Driving through the city As I look through the window Wonderin what it's like to be sleepin on the outside Watch me take a picture of the place that I grew up in Sorry mister, thought you look like someons I remember Someone I remember Look at him still walking Like he knows somebody's watchin If I try to talk to him I wonder if he'll know me C'mon say "Hey baby" won't you take a ride in my car Maybe you can show me how we lost what we believe in Just let me stay here I'm running from I don't know Just let me stay here the night I won't hurt you Don't stop me Just let me stay a while Just let me stay here for life I know it's been a while and the years have been unfaithful Is there nothing left of me that even looks familiar Everything that was easy when we thought we had the answer Why you lookin' at me like I'm from another planet Just let me stay here I'm running from I don't know Just let me stay here the night I won't hurt you Don't stop me Just let me stay a while Just let me stay here for life Oooo eee oh My lo say no May you can let me in
