Wish you told me by and by that my life would come to this
That I'd have to find a way to let things go
That my friends would turn to foes
And my love would come to blows
Then I would have done some things differently

Differently
I would ask you out every night
Differently
And I would make you feel so good
Differently
And appreciate the things that you bring to me, babe
Differently
Oh yes I would,oh yeah

Yeah, I know you tried and tried but your signal I just missed
When you said my little girl would soon be gone
Yes I didn't hear you then and it might be too late now
That's another thing I'd do differently

Differently
Like trying to make you feel loved every day
Differently
And saying little things to let you know how I feel
Differently
Yes I can hear your young voice calling me, babe
Differently
Oh yes I can

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there
All those people with their faces
walkin' up the stree,
They don't have to say a thing
just look around and you see

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down
New signs going up,
old signs coming down
You gotta hold onto something in this life

Well the older generation
they got something to say
But they better say it fast
or get outta the way
All those gangsters with their crimes
they make it look so good
We've been blowing up the planet
just like the old neighbourhood

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life

If I only had a heart
it would beat all night for you
If I only had a heart
I would cry the whole day through
When I hold you in my arms
it's like a breath of fresh air
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there

Old heart's going up
old heart's coming down
My feelings going up
my feelings coming down
You gotta hold onto someone in this life

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there
