You Take Me Up

You Take Me Up - Thompson Twins

I work on the frontline

I work to survive

And I sleep in a fever - so this is my life

I cry in my sleep - cry boy

Cry boy

It just makes me weep

When I try how I try

I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labour of love

So please

Don't ask me why

I'm looking for reasons - day in

Day out

I'm trying too hard - he's trying too hard

I'm moving in circles - too hot

Too hot

Don't get very far - don't get very far

Should I ask she to dance - dance boy

Dance boy

If I promise romance

Will you come for the ride

I know what it means

To work hard on machines

Do you believe in love one that lasts for all time

You take me up

Oh ho

You take me up to the higher ground

You take me up so high

Now I never want to come back down

I'm glad in these hard times - day in

Day out

There's hope in your eyes - hope in his eyes

I don't need a religion - too hot

Too hot

'Cause this love never dies - love never dies

I believe in today - believe boy

Believe boy

It's better that way and you work through the night

I know what it means

To work hard on machines

It's a labour of love

So please

Don't ask me why

You take me up

Oh ho

You take me up to the higher ground

You take me up so high

Now I never want to come back down

I cry in my sleep - cry boy

Cry boy

It just makes me weep when I try how I try

I know what it means to work hard on machines

It's a labor of love so please don't ask me why

You take me up

Oh ho

You take me up to the higher ground

You take me up so high

Now I never want to come back down

You take me up oh ho you take me up to the higher ground

You take me up so high

Now I never want to come back down
