[Verse 1]
You been hurt and you re all cried out you say
You walk down the street pushing people outta your way
You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride
You don t want nothing, don t need no one by your side
You re walking tough, baby but you re walking blind
To the ties that bind
[Chorus]
| |
The ties that bind
| |
Now you can t break the ties that bind
[Verse 2]
Cheap romance, it s all just a crutch
You don t want nothing that anybody can touch
You re so afraid of being somebody s fool
Not walking tough, baby not walking cool
You walk cool, but darling, can you walk the line
And face the ties that bind
[Chorus]
| |
The ties that bind
| |
Now you can t break the ties that bind
[Bridge]
Oh I, I d rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling
Than know the emptiness your heart must hide
Yes I would darling, yes I would darling,
Yes I would baby
[Sax Solo]
[Verse 3]
You sit and wonder just who s gonna stop the rain
Who ll ease the sadness, who s gonna quiet the pain
It s a long dark highway and a thin white line
Connecting baby your heart to mine
We re running now but darling we will stand in time
To face the ties that bind
[Chorus/Outro]
| |
The ties that bind
Now you can t break the ties that bind
You can t forsake the ties that bind
| |
Whoa, whoa, oh
