I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, traveling, traveling, traveling Looking for something, what can it be Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some Oh I love you when I forget about me I wanna be strong I wanna laugh along I wanna belong to the living Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive I want to wreck my stockings in some jukebox dive Do you want, do you want, do you wanna dance with me baby Do you wanna take a chance on Maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby, well come on All I really really want is our love to do Is to bring out the best in me and in you too All I really really want our love to do Is to bring out the best in me and in you I wanna talk to you, I wanna shampoo you I wanna renew you again and again Applause, applause, life is our cause When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws Do you see, do you see, do you see how you hurt me baby So I hurt you too Then we both get so blue I am on a lonely road and I am traveling Looking for the key to set me free Oh the jealousy The greed is the unraveling it’s the unraveling And it undoes all the joy that could be I wanna fun, I wanna shine like the sun I wanna be the one that you want to see I wanna knit you a sweater Wanna write you a love letter I wanna make you feel better, I wanna Make you feel free Hm hm hm, hm Wanna make you feel all free I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, traveling, traveling, traveling
