Got a devil on my shoulder
But an angel in my eye
I know that when I'm older
I'll still be that guy

And even after all the countless times
They commit their crimes
In the end they always let her down, down, down
She always seems to make the same mistakes,
Never hits the breaks and see the one that she's around, around, around

Cause I want to take her away
And I want to show her when night turns to day
And I, I want to give her a love that is true
What I really want... Is someone like you.

Stuck in this spot, I'm labeled just a friend
Be thankful for what I've got
But it's hard to pretend

And even after all the countless times
They commit their crimes
In the end they always let her down, down, down
She always seems to make the same mistakes,
Never hits the breaks and see the one that she's around, around, around

Cause I want to take her away
And I want to show her when night turns to day
And I, I want to give her a love that is true
What I really want... Is someone like you.

So here I am on standby
Wish I didn't have to lie and pretend I'm shy
Maybe in another place, or another time
Now I'm walking on a thin line
And I wonder if the thought of us ever crossed your mind
Every day it crosses mine.

Cause I want to take her away
And I want to show her when night turns to day
And I, I want to give her a love that is true
What I really want... Is someone like you.

Cause I want to take her away
And I want to show her when night turns to day
And I, I want to give her a love that is true
What I really want... Is someone like you.
