Dead end street I'd like to be there Lyrics

You've got the face of an angel, the tongue of a devil
a heart cold as stone, the mind of a rebel.
You don't like my music I play it too loud
but I like what I do and that's what it's all about
you're well educated, you think that I'm dumb
you want me to crawl, I might as well jump
Your friend always tell you to leave me alone
I really don't care, I'd like to be on my own

(chorus)
because,
When you're down I'd like to be there
When you cry I'd like to see it
When you're beggin'on your knees I would like to be there to see the tears in your eyes.

You don't show emotions You're tough like a rock
there will be a day babe you'll run out of luck
will it bring you down will it tear you apart
it cuts like a knife it's like a steak through the heart
you're laughin at me, you're now standing tall
well the taller you stand, the harder you'll fall
you say take it easy there'sno cloud in the air
but when it's gettin'dark I just would like to be there

(chorus)
because,
When you're down I'd like to be there
When you cry I'd like to see it
When you're beggin'on your knees I would like to be there to see the tears in your eyes.

Now you're down and I am standing there to see you drowning in your own tears and
you're beggin'me if I can help but when I'm looking at you I don't know what I should do

(chorus)
because,
When you're down I'd like to be there
When you cry I'd like to see it
When you're beggin'on your knees I would like to be there to see the tears in your eyes.
